Glacier Knights start football season with road game

The Glacier Knights kick off their eighth season today against Helena in a Rocky Mountain Football League game in Boulder.

The Knights are looking for a bounce back season after finishing 2-6 last year. Three-time RMFL All-Star running back Mike Kuehne returns for the Knights along with All-Star receiver Dan Holquin and lineman Jared Taylor.

Kuehne was the league's rushing champ in 2009.

On defense, the Knights are led by three-time All-Star Jesse Shaw, a linebacker, and Tyrel Anderson, who was named second-team defensive back last year.

Defensive end Kyle Holloway was honorable mention.

The Knights, made up of adults from the valley, have four home games this season, including a regular-season finale against the Missoula Phoenix in Legends Stadium on June 11.
