Gavin Burkhart Goes Supernova in River Valley Win
Gavin Burkhart's big game helped extend River Valley's winning streak to seven on Friday. Burkhart was dynamite, rushing for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making ten total tackles and defending two passes.
Marion Center's probably not too fond of Burkhart given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Burkhart saw the Stingers), he picked up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 67 yards.
