In a decade that brought two state championships, Brennan’s 100th win, a 25 game winning streak, and a divine act of deception, it’s difficult to rank the TOP GAMES. But here it is, special thanks to BKfootball.com contributor Andy Brunelle for providing the initial list.

The TOP TEN BK Football Games of the Decade.

10.  Nov. 3, 2006: BK 28 Sandpoint 24 – State Quarterfinals at Sandpoint, a come from behind win turns on the Immaculate Deception. Boy oh boy did that inspired bit of innovation get a reaction. Trip also included the first known print reference to the team as “the University of Bishop Kelly.”

9.  Aug. 31, 2001:  BK 34 Borah 12 – Inaugural Battle of the Ditchbank as 5A Lions walk to BK. Knights now 4-0 against larger neighbor.

8.  Sept. 12, 2003: BK 13  Eagle 14 – At Eagle’s Thunder Stadium underdog BK nearly pulls last minute miracle against 5A powerhouse. BK staple ‘power trey right’ sets up QB keeper for last minute TD. Knights try to throw for two-point conversion, lose by one.

7.  Nov. 2, 2001: BK 49 Sandpoint 48 — State Quarterfinal at BK, Knights win on throwback to QB Brooks, missed kick by Sandpoint.

6.  Sept. 5, 2003: BK 23 Lake City 6 –  Knights upset 2002 5A State Champions at BK in early season non-con action. Knights average 6-yards-per-carry rushing.

5.  Nov. 11, 2005: BK 21 Sandpoint 20 — State Semifinals at Sandpoint seems lost until the “Big Play on Pend Oreille,” Hawkins to Stew Tracy for six!

4.  Nov. 19, 2004: BK 40 Pocatello 8 – State Championship win at Bronco Stadium was closer than score indicates. Huge BK crowd enjoys hook-and-ladder and other fireworks.

3.  Nov. 12,  2004: BK 29 Caldwell 12 — State Semifinals at BK, Knights beat the best Caldwell team in years with strong second half. Two streakers provide comic relief.

2.  Nov. 3, 2000: BK 35 Lake City 28 –  BK’s biggest playoff upset ever, State Quarterfinal win in Coeur d’Alene over highly-touted Vikings.

1.  Nov. 18, 2005: BK 31 Pocatello 29 –  The #1 Most Memorable Game of the 2000’s was the 2005 State Championship Game, a tense 31-29 BK win over hometown Pocatello at the MiniDome on the campus of Idaho State University. The win was BK’s 24th consecutive and came against an ultra-talented Indian squad in a hostile environment when the calls and odds seemed stacked against the Knights. The win capped the career of QB Cody Hawkins and some other teammates who never lost a game at BK (2 undefeated years on JV, 2 on varsity) or during Optimist and Junior High football. The now legendary “3rd & 47″ moment became part of BK lore.
