What an interesting sequence for Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.
First, the Knights had a touchdown run wiped out by a holding call. Then Fountain Valley had an interception in the end zone nullified by a defensive holding call.
That helped set up Notre Dame quarterback Ryan Kasdorf's spinning one-yard touchdown run that gave the Knights a 21-14 lead with 44 seconds left in the second quarter of their Pac-5 Division first-round game.
