FIRST HERE'S OUR
SPORTS CONNECTION
FLASHBACK
SEGMENT.
(Music) It was October
19th, 2012, the final night
of the regular season.
Stockton took on Aquin in
a battle of the top two
ranked teams in the
State in Class 1A. Both
teams were unbeaten.
Aquin boasted a high
scoring spread offense
led by sensational
quarterback Nolan
Brannick. He already
had over 2,000 yards
passing on the season
coming into this game.
Stockton was ranked
number one and on this
night the Blackhawks
were clearly the top
team. They jumped on
the Bulldogs scoring 34
points in the first half and
rolled to a 56-19 win.
Senior running back TJ
Knutson did most of the
damage. He ripped off
four long touchdown runs
while rushing for 344
yards. Stockton claimed
the Northwest Upstate
Illini UpState
Championship.
