Stuttgart 58, Crossett 20

Stuttgart overwhelmed Crossett with a 31-point opening quarter and a torrent of explosive plays to win 58–20 on Friday at Yarbo Field. Quarterback Cain Price (QB) efficiently steered the Ricebirds, tossing two touchdowns and adding a 14‑yard scoring run as Stuttgart seized a 52–7 halftime lead. Receiver Quarterion “QT” Johnson (WR/CB) was electric, turning a tunnel screen into an 83‑yard touchdown and finishing the half with four catches for 132 yards and two scores.

Special teams and defense stacked on points. Dawson McKelvey (K) drilled a 20‑yard field goal to open the scoring, recovered an onside kick and was perfect on eight PATs. Cordaro Berry (ATH) added a scoop‑and‑score, Keaton Byers(FS/WR) intercepted a pass and later caught an 11‑yard TD, and Tristan Robinson (KR) sealed the night with a fourth‑quarter kick return to the house. Jeremiah Thomas (RB) and Kaden Sims (WR) each scored in the opening surge, while Tayquan Hall (RB) churned out first‑half yardage to keep the chains moving.

Crossett found late rhythm. Cash Forrest (QB) scrambled for a 39‑yard touchdown and engineered a third‑quarter drive capped by Charles Moore’s 5‑yard TD catch. Taiwan Gibson (WR/KR) ignited the home crowd with a 90‑yard kickoff‑return touchdown just before halftime, and Jackson Mills handled PATs. Despite flashes from Braylon Howell(RB/MLB) and CJ Brown (WR/DB), the Eagles struggled early against a swarming Stuttgart front.
