Quote of the night
“I think (Cameron Hairston) is the best receiver in the state of Missouri. We don’t have any doubt that he’s going to catch the ball. If he can get any space and I can lay it up there for him, he’s going to catch it, he’s going to come down with it and he’s going to score.” – Lee’s Summit North quarterback Nate Webb after Hairston’s big night in the Broncos’ 20-14 double overtime win against Raymore-Peculiar
