Kaneland has played its share of laughers during a regular-season winning streak that reached 23 games on Friday.

The Knights' 41-0 road shutout of Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover foe Streator was the latest, and players approached it with the same even keel.

"Yeah, we've had pretty strong confidence, but we don't get overly cocky with it," senior linebacker Ryan Lawrence said. "We try to stay calm. If we don't treat each game like the most important game of the year, then the chances are we won't have a good outcome."
