ARLINGTON – In the first meeting on Sept. 4 between No. 1 Sterling City and No. 3 May, a 44-40 decision slipped away from the Tigers. In Wednesday’s rematch in the Class A Division I state championship game at AT&T Stadium, May couldn’t hold the momentum of a fast start as the Sterling City Eagles ran away with their first state title, 68-22.
Sterling City (15-0) finished with 461 yards of total offense and no turnovers as Offensive Player of the Game Cross Knittel rushed for 249 yards and four touchdowns and threw a 62-yard touchdown.
“We struggled stopping them today,” said May 17th-year head coach Craig Steele, who has guided the Tigers to three of the school’s six state championship game appearances. “Knittel, he’s something else. We contained him pretty well on grass at our place this year, but on turf he’s so quick.”
In a game broadcast on KOXE 101.3, the Sterling City Eagles defeated the May Tigers 68-22 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in the Class A Division 1 State Championship. Sterling City went undefeated this season while May ends the 2020 football campaign at 13-2. This was May’s third trip to the state championship game since 2013. It has been an exciting season for May and, though they came up short, we’re very proud of all they accomplished this year. We will post more information from the game later.
