Jaelon Acklin of Mountain View-Liberty

[ChaoticFanatic]

Plays for the Ottawa Red Blacks this year.
the team is having a rough year at 4-14
With 6 of those losses by 5 points or less.

Acklin is the leading receiver on the team this year with 75 catches for 1,169 yards & 2 TDs

 

[ChaoticFanatic]

That yardage total also puts him 5th in the CFL in receiving yards and 7th in the CFL in receptions

Probably the best athlete to ever come through the SCA.

 

[_slo_mo_]

He was selected for the CFL All Star team this year as well.

Bill Virdon, late 40s from West Plains, may have that honor,

Best athlete to come through the area maybe, but West Plains is not an SCA school

I may be wrong but I believe West Plains was an SCA school at some point in its history?

Not now, sure. My dad always has spoke highly of Virdon. Being a Zizzer basketball star of some note from the era himself I trust his opinion.

Yes they were, but most of the area schools try to forget that part. Thanks for ruining that for me lol

Only the schools that would have been conference champs if not for WP lol.
Similar situation enrollment wise to CJ in the old Big 8, but worse.

Sorry Tad. West Plains was in the SCA from the beginning until 2001 when they were forced out because of there size.
