The Faith Academy Knights football team travelled to Westbury Christian (4A) Sept. 16. The Knights got off to a hot start and never looked back. Junior QB Dyllan Olivares continues to stand out, marching the Knights up and down the field. He would finish the contest going 18/24, passing for 283 yards, and 5 TDs. He threw TDs to Brody August (So), Joshua Stark (Sr), Gage Wilson (Sr), and two to Jackson Dunn (Sr). Olivares alluded to pressure all night with his Johnny Manziel-esque escape and hitting open receivers on the run.
“His decision making and defense- reading is getting better every week”, said Head Coach Trey Carter. “We knew he’s normally the smartest player on the field, but his ability to get loose, keep his eyes downfield, and throw a strike has been impressive to watch. His offensive line is also blocking their tails off as well.”
Center Riley Heyman (Jr.) anchors the O-line, making all the checks and blocking scheme calls. All-State Tight End Wyatt Davis (Jr.), who has proved to be one of the best blockers in the state, is on one side, and August is on the other. They gave Olivares a ton of time against a defensive line of Westbury, who outweighed them by an average of 80 lbs.
