A matchup of 3-1’s - Clinton and Burlington face off in this weeks Six Spotlight game

CLINTON & BURLINGTON, Iowa (KWQC) - The Six Spotlight game shines on Bracewell Stadium in downtown Burlington for a matchup between the Clinton River Kings and the Burlington Grayhounds.

After a week one loss to Central De Witt, the River Kings have rolled off three straight wins, to move to 3-1 for the first time in a long time. Clinton is led by a power running attack, sitting second in all of Class 4A in rushes per game. The River Kings are hitting the toughest part of their schedule, beginning with this trip to Burlington.

The Grayhounds have already surpassed their win total from last season, and now are looking to solidify themselves as a playoff team. Burlington’s coach says senior leadership has helped this program turn a corner. Ono of those leaders is senior running back Keshawn Wyldon, who is currently second in Class 4A with 649 yards, averaging over 12 yards a carry.

Kickoff for the matchup of former MAC rivals will be Friday at 7:30.
