KINGS MOVE TO 2-0 WITH 16-6 WIN OVER HURRICANES

The Northeast Kings improved to 2-0 with a physical 16-6 victory over the Hurricanes at Germantown HS Field.

The Kings' offense came out hot and found the end zone early. The Hurricanes answered with a touchdown of their own, but the Kings' defense settled in from there and did not allow another point for the rest of the game.

The tone of the afternoon was physical on both sides of the football. The Kings created turnovers, forced fumbles and opened running lanes on offense as they took control of the game. The result was another complete team win and an undefeated start through two games.

TOP PERFORMERS

• Jalen Sutton - 1 passing touchdown.
• Kevin Smith Jr. - 2+ tackles for loss and 1 sack.
• Kwaali Freeman - 1 interception.

KWAALI FREEMAN | #5 | CORNERBACK

Kwaali Freeman earns this week's King of the Week after recording an interception against the Hurricanes - the first turnover from the Kings' defensive back group this season.

Week 2 stat: 1 interception

CURTIS DAVIS | DISCIPLINE BEYOND THE FIELD

For Curtis Davis, football is part of something bigger: a lifestyle built around preparation, discipline and continuing to show up.

A recent training post featuring Curtis documents a Philadelphia workout focused on single-leg stability and lateral movement, with the message that preparation for January camp starts months before the first whistle. The post summed up the mentality simply: “Dedication is something you can’t teach.”

That commitment comes while Curtis is preparing for another major responsibility away from football. In September, he shared that he expects to deploy again within the next four months, ending his message with the same mentality he carries into training: keep getting after it whenever you can.

His activity away from football also reflects an active lifestyle. Just weeks ago, Curtis posted after completing an 11-mile ride, writing that he was “back like we never left.”

For the Kings, Curtis is a fitting spotlight not simply because of what happens between the lines, but because of what he represents outside them: preparation before it is required, consistency when nobody is keeping score, and the willingness to keep working when life demands more.

THE KING'S MENTALITY: Prepare early. Stay disciplined. Keep getting after it.

STEVE KARGOBAI

Message from Coach: "One week at a time. You go into the week 0-1 and worry about the task at hand."

On the defense: "Defensively, we are still trying to find our stride. We have yet to be challenged, so we have to stay vigilant at all times."

Focus for the next game: Contain the run while applying a lot of pressure.
