AREA ROUNDUP

MOSCOW — Lucius Comis got things started with a kickoff return touchdown on the opening play and the unbeaten Logos Knights of Moscow shut out visiting Genesee 64-0 in Whitepine League Division I football action on Saturday at their home field.

Comis would score again on a 51-yard passing play from Jack Driskill, who ran for two more touchdowns and passed for another before swapping out as quarterback. Relief QBs Baxter Covington and Joseph Sensing helped keep the scoreboard moving for the Knights (4-0, 3-0), with Covington rushing for 86 yards and passing for 50 before Sensing put in 32 yards on the ground and 28 through the air.

A defensive highlight came when Gunnar Holloway forced a safety on Genesee (0-3, 0-3) in what would become the second shutout victory of the season for Logos, which had previously never held an opposing team under 20 points in a two-year program history. The Knights currently hold third place in Idaho Class 1A Division I state media polling.
