Kuntz the talk of the town

Among those preparing for the Pennsylvania State Football Coaches Association East-West All-Star game at Mansion Park on Friday are two record-setting running backs.

Jeremiah Young of Steelton-Highspire holds the career rushing record among Pennsylvania backs while Schuylkill Haven's Zach Barkett set the single-season record last year.

Despite those names and achievements, the player commanding the most attention this week in Altoona is Trinity running back Christian Kuntz.

One of the reasons has to be that Kuntz will suit up at wide receiver this fall for Penn State University. If you've ever been to Blair County, it's all Penn State all the time.

Earlier this week, the Altoona Mirror ran a feature story on Kuntz and Wednesday night, local television station WTAJ in Altoona aired a 63-second feature on Kuntz.

Friday night at 6 p.m., Kuntz will step on a football field in a game situation for the first time since suffering a season-ending knee injury Oct. 11 at Middletown.
