Avery Westfield Puts an End to Karns' Losing Streak on Friday
Avery Westfield helped snap Karns's five-game losing streak. On Friday Westfield rushed for 213 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Karns' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Karns' victory bumped their record up to 3-5. Westfield and Karns will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Clinton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
