Mizzou Baseball recruit dominates on gridiron


The Quincy Herald Whig has a feature on the St. Charles West Warriors in the state football playoffs, where they focus on Brannon Champagne:
Much of the Warriors' success rests is because of dual-threat quarterback Brannon Champagne, who is headed to the University of Missouri on a baseball scholarship.

This season, Champagne has completed 54 of 89 passes for 1,038 yards with 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He leads West in rushing with 883 yards and 17 scores. Defensively, he tops the team with five interceptions. He also kicks and punts.

"He's a multi-purpose threat that you have to game plan against," Strauss told the Suburban Journals.

All in the family: Champagne's father, Boo, was a defensive lineman St. Charles when it won the Class 4A state championship in 1982. He went on to pitch for the University of Illinois and was an 11th round selection of the Kansas City Royals in the 1986 amateur draft.
