Kingsland pushed their record up to 5-2 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. Howard and Kingsland will face off against Houston at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Lee Klunder Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Lee Klunder produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Houston to the win 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 the past is any indication, Klunder could be in store for another big game when he takes on 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.
