Graden Buckhanan Delivers Electric Performance Vs Pagosa Springs
Gunnison's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Graden Buckhanan. Buckhanan turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, rushing for 245 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 96-yard run.
Buckhanan and Gunnison will head out on the road to take on Bayfield at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The matchup will pit Buckhanan up against the Wolverines' star rusher Lincoln Williams. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
