Javion Kinnard Delivers Electric Performance Vs Whites Creek

The contest was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Station Camp's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Crisp and Station Camp will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Creek Wood on October 18th.
