There are not many nights where a secondary can say the number of completed passes against them and the number of interceptions for them are the same. But that was the case for Stanhope Elmore during Friday’s 12-7 win over Benjamin Russell and safety Jeremy Thompson was right in the middle of it for the Mustangs.

Thompson, who had one of the interceptions, finished with four tackles including one for a loss as the Mustangs grabbed a victory in the Class 6A Region 3 opener. Thompson is the Elmore County Player of the Week.
