KNIGHT HITS CAREER MILESTONE IN UNITED VICTORY

EAST PALESTINE OH- United had to battle a slow start on Friday night in East Palestine. The game saw the Bulldogs score first. A 4 yard touchdown run from Jesse Lipp helped the Bulldogs take a 6-0 lead. United would take the lead back, but a couple of big defensive stops would keep Palestine in the game for the first half. The two teams went into the locker room with a 14-6 United lead.  United found a groove in the second half though going on to win 42-6.

Grant Knight had a big night. He caught the 110th catch of his career which made him officially the program leader in career receptions. Knight is now eyeing the career receiving yards record at United. The Eagles will try to clean up some penalty issues, as they were flagged 10 times for 90 yards.

Lipp had a nice day for the Bulldogs despite the loss. He ran for 135 yards on 19 carries, and a touchdown. He averaged just over 7 yards per carry.

United will carry their 6-1 record to Week 8 where they will host Wellsville.  East Palestine will have a road trip to Columbiana trying to earn their second win of the year.
