After six seasons, Elijah Brooks fulfilled his potential and got the monkey off his back as he led the New Chester Knights to a PFL Championship. After failing in the playoffs the last three years, the Knights completed their terrific season (16-2 in regular season).

Things started well for Hallas, scoring on the second play of the game, an 80 yard catch and run from Amani Sanders. Following that, the Knights defence shut down QB Drew Williams and co, making them settle for field goals and an interception for the rest of the first half. Elijah Brooks led the team down the field on four consecutive scoring drives. A 5 yard pass to Rashaan Johnson, a 24 yard run from Ryan McKenzie and two field goals. At halftime, neither side had punted!

At halftime, the entertainment was provided by Eboria’s own Low-Ki Riders and Ryan Patrick.

The second half started slowly, with both teams punting. Both teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, before the Knights went beyond reach with a field goal and Brooks’ 8 run in the fourth quarter. With the score 37-20, the Stars twice failed on fourth downs, before scoring with 1:27 left, to make it 37-27. The Knights recovered the forthcoming onside kick and ran out the clock.

Elijah Brooks was named the POTG, passing for 317 yards and two touchdowns, also getting one on the ground.
