A Season-Best Performance from James Stampley Leads Kankakee over Crete-Monee
James Stampley produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Kankakee to the win on Friday. Stampley picked up 106 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards.
Crete-Monee's probably not too fond of Stampley given he always seems to get the better of them. When Stampley last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he picked up 115 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
