Jaxon Knutson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jaxon Knutson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead McClintock over Campo Verde on Friday. Knutson threw for 527 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023.
For the year, Knutson has thrown 47 touchdowns (and and only 5 picks) while averaging 345.1 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he had 30 passing touchdowns.
