Kermode Came Up Big in Galena's 40-14 Win
Galena picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Colson Kermode. Kermode turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 231 yards and two touchdowns while completing 74.1% of his passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Kermode must have North Valleys's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Kermode last faced the Panthers back in September, he threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns on only 19 passes.
