He has run for 10 TDs this season and collecting 13 last year in six games. Anna averages 30.7 and allows 15.7 points per game. Liberty-Eylau scores 36.6 and gives up 41.3 points an outing. Princeton, which hosts North Lamar tonight and plays at L-E next week, is also 2-0 in district play,
while Paris and L-E are 1-1.
COACHES COMMENTS: Anna’s Jason Heath was unavailable for comment.
L-E’s Steve Wells—“For Ana, everything runs through their quarterback (Crosby) on offense. He sees the field real well and can tuck it and go at any point. They've got some good running backs with him, and on defense they're sound. They play hard.
“We're going to have to come out and play well an entire game. Anna is 2-0 and has a shot at winning (the district title). For us to have a shot at winning, we need to knock them off.”
