CANTON – Claflin High School running back Benn Kirmer amassed 213 rushing yards, 40 passing yards and five touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to their first victory this season, beating Canton-Galva on Friday night.

“He has been a wide receiver for the past two years and he has finally made the transition back to running back.”
Kirmer carried the ball 18 times to average over 11 yards per carry.
Quarterback Kevin Klug ran for a Wildcats touchdown and was second in rushing yards with 38.
