Camrin Carty made perhaps the biggest play of the season for the Centennial Knights.

Milton was lining up for what would have been a game-tying extra-point field goal in the final minute of last Thursday’s game against the Knights. But Carty slid through the line and batted down Milton kicker Chris Mills’ field goal try and Centennial escaped with a 21-20 win.

 “Camrin is a great special teams player,” said Centennial Assistant Head Coach Jeff Burch, who added that Carty said he “got skinny” to get through the line and make the big play. “As a coach, when you need a big play on special teams you have to be able to count on your seniors to make the big play and he did it in the biggest spot possible. As a staff we are so proud of his effort to make something special happen.”

Carty’s play lifted the Knights (2-4 overall, 1-1 Region 6-AAAAA) back into playoff contention.
