Were any of you fools at that Wynne v Stuttgart game? Wow, what a game. The wideout for Stuttgart who scored like 15 touchdowns on the same out route against the same corner? And DeAngelo just put that Wynne team on his back and refused to lose? It was one of the more memorable state championship games.

DeAngelo was an extraordinary player.  Look where he landed!  I don't think there are any DeAngelo's on either team. Not a knock on the present players, just an observation.

I was there.  That one will go down as one of the most entertaining games in Championship history.

23 receptions for 406 yds. Some kids don't get that in an entire season.

2001 State Championship, Slade Camp of Stuttgart set a playoff record for the most receptions in a championship game.  Played for Stuttgart, the Ricebirds won the 2002 Championship in 4A the next year.

Yellowcake

Yep, Slade Camp.

Come to think of it, there's never been a game where I was rooting for Wynee.....
