Manteo (11-2) scored on the first drive of the game, but Dale Walsh took a pitch seven yards to get the Knights on the board. Ronnie Waldroup ran in the game-tying conversion. Waldroup then punched in the title-clinching touchdown in the fourth, scoring on another 7-yard carry. "It was a team effort," said Robbinsville head coach Bob Colvin. "We just never gave up."
