Dale County Warriors Week 1 Top Performers
Brandon Eisenman
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Dale County Warriors opened the 2021 season on Friday with a 38-27 loss to the Ariton Purple Cats. Despite the loss, the Warriors had players on both sides of the ball that impressed. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Derrion Crossley | 6-3 WR </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Crossley has a big frame and can catch any pass thrown his way. The 6’3” wideout has great hands and runs his routes well. He can also take handoffs in sweep packages and pick up rushing yards. Down the sideline, Crossley is tough to defend, especially if he gets into open space. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Alex Banks | 6-1 QB </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Banks displayed poise in the pocket but also struggled against the Purple Cats. He competed accurate throws and got out of pressure when the pocket was collapsing. If Banks is given time in the pocket, he can find any open receiver down the field. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Christian Ross | 6-4 DE, TE</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ross might be Dale County’s best overall player this season. He is a standout target in the pass catching scheme and has a height advantage over smaller defenders. Against Ariton, Ross hauled in a few deep passes where he got behind the defense and was open down the sideline. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Keviun Anderson | 5-8 RB</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Anderson is a solid running back that shows great vision on the field. He can get into the second level of the defense and work for extra yards after contact. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jaylon Dozier | 5-11 DB </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Dozier has great athleticism and recorded an interception on Friday against Ariton. He can play well with receivers off the line of scrimmage and can force pass breakups on any route. </span></p>
