Latest 'Ants addition at wide receiver and former University of Mississippi player Vincent Brownlee was on the receiving end of two touchdowns on the night.

Brownlee Enters Lineup

Former Mississippi State standout Paul Mooney re-joined the FireAnts this past Saturday. Mooney, a key member of the FireAnts offensive line last season now joins some new and old faces on the turf in 2002. WR Vincent Brownlee was also added to the lineup for Saturday's game. Brownlee, a former Ole Miss Rebel, has spent quite some time in the football ranks, now, with the FireAnts, and making quite the first impression with two TD catches in the end zone.
