James Stampley Delivers Best Effort of Season
Kankakee was led to victory by James Stampley, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Stampley picked up 148 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Bloom's probably not too fond of Stampley given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Stampley saw the Blazing Trojan), he rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
