LAKEPORT — Michael Knight Jr. scored on a 6-yard run in the third quarter for the only points of the game as the Westshore Cardinals shut out the Lower Lake Trojans 6-0 in Mendo-Lake Empire Youth Football League pee wee division action Saturday in Lakeport.
Westshore improved to 4-2 on the season with the help of a pair of touchdown-saving tackles by Chance Poland, the first one near the end of the first half and the other near the end of the game when he came all the way across the field to run down a Lower Lake player.
