Lee Klunder Sets Career High in Rushing Yards

If history really does repeat itself, Klunder might just drop another big game when he faces off against Kingsland on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Klunder saw the Knights), he rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.
