Carter Kuchenbuch's big game helped extend Okanogan's winning streak to 20 on Friday. Kuchenbuch turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 46 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 55 yards.
