“I'm very pleased with the caliber of football we're playing right now,” KC coach Joe Sherwin said. “We're running the ball well and a lot of people are scoring touchdowns.”

Zach Blair got the Gremlins on the board first with a 45-yard touchdown run. Luke Garing scored on a 2-yard burst.

When Punxsutawney fumbled the kickoff, KC sophomore Zach Kelly scooped up the ball and took it in for a score. Luke Cramer scored the fourth touchdown on a 2-yard run.

Jayce Anderson led the Gremlins in rushing for a second straight week. He returned a kickoff 70 yards as well, but did not score on the play.

Punxsutawney played its first game of the season. Karns City plays its first home game next Friday, facing Central Clarion.

“It will be nice to get back home,” Sherwin said. “We're off to a good start.”
