AHSAA Spotlight for Week 4

Phillips Bears Passing Duo Grab AHSAA Prep Spotlight For Week 4

   MONTGOMERY, AL. - Phillips of Bear Creek receiver Tyler Crumpton wrote his name in the AHSAA High School Record Book Friday night with his 284-yard pass receiving performance as the Bears of Coach Gary McCarley knocked off Vina 62-25.
    Senior quarterback Rodney Camp connected with Crumpton eight times - five going for TDs - as the Class 1A passing duo grabbed the AHSAA Prep Spotlight for Week 4 of the 2012 football season.
     Camp wound up the night completing 12-of-21 passes for 351 yards with the longest TD covering 64 yards. He also rushed 13 times for 74 yards and added his named to the AHSAA Record Book with 425 total yards. Camp added three kickoff returns for 77 more yards, one for 65 yards and a TD. Crumpton, who plays safety on defense, added 18 tackles as the Bears safety.
    Crumpton's receiving yards ranks fifth all-time behind record holder Chris Simpson of LaFayette, who had 20 catches for 412 yards in a 2000 win over Alabama Christian. Behind Simpson are Brandon Greer of Westbrook Christian (311 yards in 2000 vs. Donoho), Steve Wood of Dora (303 yards vs. Oak Grove in 2010) and Sam Collins of Fayette County (298 yards vs. Pleasant Grove in 1997.
     The five TD receptions ties him for second with Collins, Bart of Hyche of Winfield (1992) and Brian Chastain of Jemison (1991) for most TD receptions in a single game.  Ja'Michael Willis of Gardendale (2010), David Morrison of Berry (2009) and Greer of Westbrook (1998) are tied for the state record with six TD catches.
   The passing combination of Phillips' Crumpton and Camp edged out another outstanding team effort for Carroll of Ozark. Rod Roberson intercepted two passes to end Booker T. Washington scoring threats in a 20-13 win over the Eagles. Roberson's first interception came at Carroll's 1-yard line, the second in the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Eagles also returned a third interception for a touchdown - the fifth interception return for a TD this season by Carroll's defense in the first four games.
