Parker Johnson Makes It Two for Kingsland
Keeping Howard company is Parker Johnson, a fellow Kingsland player. He rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Johnson has averaged 22.1 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 29.14 rushing yards.

Lee Klunder Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Houston was led to victory by Lee Klunder, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Klunder rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Klunder might just drop another big game when he faces off against Kingsland on Saturday. Klunder rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.
