Johnnie Kinter Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Johnnie Kinter of Wellington. Kinter picked up 110 receiving yards and a touchdown. Wellington is 2-1 when Kinter posts 80 or more receiving yards, but 0-4 otherwise.
Kinter's next game is against Oberlin on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The contest will pit Kinter up against the The Phoenix 's star pass catcher Jakshawn Windham. 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.
