Jace Kent Delivers Electric Effort Vs Fulton
Jace Kent was instrumental in extending Kirksville's winning streak to eight on Friday. Kent turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 158 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 141 rushing yards.
Unfortunately for Fulton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kent. Kent rushed for 247 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 37 receiving yards the last time he and the Hornets duked it out back in October of 2023.
