A Season-Best Effort from James Stampley Leads Kankakee over Bloom
James Stampley produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Kankakee to the win on Saturday. 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. Stampley rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Blazing Trojan duked it out back in October of 2023.

Kankakee Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Cedric Terrell
Cedric Terrell was instrumental in extending Kankakee's winning streak to six on Saturday. Terrell was unstoppable, rushing for 22 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Terrell has averaged 19.6 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.71 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 18.40
While Rich Township might've come up empty on Friday, Ortez Johnson wasn't going down without a fight. 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 and Rich Township will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Lincoln-Way Central at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
