Another impressive year for @tkern51. Old-school linebacker who hits everything. Couldn’t imagine not playing with him. Backbone of this defense. Gonna succeed wherever he goes and more coaches need to get involved ASAP!! Don’t miss out!!
Dominant year on a great defense!! Between stats and film, not sure how you’re not blown away by @k_kern7. High motor guy who did everything for this team. Made plays all over the place. Coaches better get on him before it’s too late!!
Didn’t end the way we wanted, but still had a great year! First team in Great Bend history to win 11 games. Finished the year with 137 tackles, (Led all of 5a Kansas football!) Also broke the Great Bend High all time record for TFL’s in a single season!
