Thanks!

[TomCat88]

Thanks!

Good baseball player, too. Colville (17-2) won its district and won the opener of its tournament yesterday 18-2 in five innings. Knight pitched three innings had two hits and scored four runs.

That's great and all but imagine how much better he'd be if Coach Choate didn't know his dad?


What a year for John Knight! Congrats, young man.

John Knight pitched a complete game (7 innings) with 13 strikeouts in 8-1 district championship win to advance to 1A state tournament. He allowed just three hits.

From looking at pictures of him, it's my belief we were recruiting his athleticism as a whole not necessarily QB. The guy's physique to me just says athlete.

As does his resume (rez-U-may). How many athletes excel at a combination of football-wrestling-baseball? I can’t think of many wrestling-baseball stars. Football-wrestling? Yes. Football-baseball? Yes. Wrestling-baseball?!?! Nope. If it happens, it’s usually the catcher. Kelly Horne from Helena is one.

Yes but can he play hockey or down hill skiing?

I'm probably being dense here but what does this mean?

He is the entire package. As far as what we would want as a recruit.

Trivia mostly. It might not mean anything. Sports geeks like myself just notice rare occurrences and try to dig into them to see if there’s other instances. Thought it might spark some conversation.

It means he’s a rare breed.

There’s Colin Bergh who is a catcher for Villanova. He wrestled in high school in Delaware and was ranked #4 in the state. He played football. Doesn’t appear to be as good at all three as Knight.

Ax Henningson from Butte wrestled and played baseball for Dickinson St.

[Mtcatfan]

Similar skills to Dave Dickenson other than Dave played basketball and John wrestled. This athletic type of guy can obviously be very good at QB.

No, I meant what does Rez U May mean

Ahhhhh, got it, thanks. At first I was thinking... why would you even need to point that out? But then I remembered there are Griz fans that read this site, so gotta dumb it down.

Because his dad and Choate are old cronies from their days at Western.

What a dumb comment. The kid is a 3 year starter at QB for a state championship team and also a state champion wrestler at a school that is comparable to Class A or B in Montana.

Colville’s enrollment is 560. It’d be A in Montana.

Actually Montana's enrollment classifications were revised in 2016. Now look like this:
AA 779+
A 307-778
B 108-306
C 1-107

Washington State breaks down like this:
4A 1252+
3A 991-1251
2A 472-990
1A 225-471
Lower Classes

560 Colville is 2A Washington, A Montana.

Some Montana schools falling into WA class 2A are:
Polson 477
Miles City 556
Belgrade 826
Havre 583
Hamilton 505
Laurel 661
Livingston 500
Miles City 556
Whitefish 480

I've seen some pretty good football players coming out of most of the above schools who have done very well at FCS.

Colville participates in 1A in Washington.
