A Season-Best Performance from James Stampley Leads Kankakee over Bloom
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.
