MEL had been scheduled to host Crossroads Academy of Big Rock next week, but the football program has been disbanded, giving the Knights a bye week.

The Knights posted a solid effort this past week at home against Central Home School of Arnold, Mo., but fell 24-0 after the Panthers scored three times in the second half.

The Knights fell to 0-4 on the year, while the Panthers improved to 3-2 after last Friday's matchup.
