James Stampley Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Kankakee got the W thanks in part to James Stampley playing the best football he has all season. Stampley picked up 148 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Stampley must have Bloom's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Stampley last faced the Blazing Trojan back in October of 2023, he rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.

Cedric Terrell and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Kankakee picked up their sixth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Cedric Terrell. Terrell was dynamite, rushing for 22 yards and a touchdown.

While Ortez Johnson delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Rich Township. Johnson was dynamite, rushing for 82 yards on only ten carries.
Rich Township's defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 3-4. Johnson's next matchup is against Thornridge on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
