The St. Thomas More Knights showed the province that they're worthy of the number 1 high school football ranking.
The Knights went on the road to Surrey on Saturday and pounded Holy Cross 55-28.
The Knights were led by Elliot Nelson, who rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns.
STM also got two majors each from quarterback Mikey Carney and receiver Gio Trasolini, while running back Justin Siglos, as part of a 250 all-purpose yardage day, added the final Knights touchdown.
"It was a pretty good team effort for us, and we played some good defence," STM head coach Bernie Kully told Howard Tsumura of The Province.
The Knights, who led 37-7 at the half, got a great effort from their defence, with linebackers Nelson and Kyle Madden each registering 12 tackles.
The Knights have a bye this week, then open their Eastern Conference league play by facing No. 3 W.J. Mouat Secondary of Abbotsford.
"We have two weeks to get ready," said Kully.
Kully will have a chance to see the W.J. Mouat Hawks play this coming weekend when they face the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.
