By Charli Harshbarger Welcome back to the 2004-2005 Hollywood Knights season! The first game at Whittier High School had some of the top names in Hollywood Knights history including Nick Carter and Howie D of the Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter, Jesse Metcalfe, Thad Luckinbill, Arlen Escarpeta, Cylk Cozart, with a half-time performance by Jillian. For more information on this game, check out game photos in the media section. The Knights won the second game of the season against the faculty and staff of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower. The Knights were down by four points going into half-time but pulled through in the end with an eleven point lead over the Braves, with a final score of 70-59. Names included on the roster were Cylk Cozart, Romeo and Dejai (Tha Goodfellas) of Power 106, Michael Bergin, Thad Luckinbill, Jesse Metcalfe, Tyler Hoechlin, James Hyde, Khleo Thomas, and newcomer Nana Gbewonyo from the movie "Coach Carter." Alisa Reyes was present in support of the Knights and Jillian premiered a new song, along with the crowd favorite, “Party." Cylk Cozart came sporting a new haircut, getting rid of the mohawk he sported the last game. Thad Luckinbill was brought down in the third quarter with an injured ankle; we hope you get better soon! Also, during the 3rd quarter, the very generous Power 106 staff had a free throw contest from half-court, but due to no one making the basket, it boiled down to a rock-paper-scissors challenge, and one lucky student walked away with their very own skateboard from Ezekiel. The next game is slated for March 2nd at El Monte High School in El Monte.
