Staff Reports 

ANNISTON – Cherokee County High School senior quarterback Slade Alexander turned in another standout performance Friday night at Class 4A, Region 4 opponent Anniston on Friday. 

A week after accounting for seven total touchdowns in a win over Springville, Alexander ran for 121 yards on 24 carries and three scores. He also completed 5-of-7 pass attempts for 65 yards and another touchdown, and returned an interception for a score on defense in the fourth quarter to lead the Warriors to a 43-27 victory. 

The two teams were scoreless at the end of the first quarter and tied at 14 at halftime. The Bulldogs (0-4, 0-2) took a 7-0 lead on Jamarius Billingsley’s 14-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Alexander countered with his first score, a 5-yard run, to tie the game at 7. Anniston regained the lead on a Brandon Roberts 7-yard run, but then Alexander tied the game at 14 on a 2-yard score before halftime. 

The Warriors (3-1, 1-0) took their first lead of the game in the third quarter on Alexander’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Whit Johnson. Daniel Mejia’s extra point gave Cherokee County a 21-14 advantage. 

Damien Ramsey, who accumulated 121 yards on 15 carries, stretched the Warrior lead to 28-14 in the fourth quarter on a 20-yard run, but the Bulldogs didn’t lie down. Kentrez Hunt pulled Anniston within a touchdown on his 3-yard run, making the score 28-21. 

But Alexander made sure the Bulldogs would get no closer. He scored again on a 1-yard run. Johnson added the 2-point conversion for a 36-21 Warrior advantage. Alexander then intercepted Anniston quarterback Kamron Sandlin and returned it for a touchdown to stretch the Warrior lead to 43-21. 

Sandlin scored the game’s final touchdown on a 10-yard run for the final. He led the Bulldogs by completing 13-of-20 pass attempts for 206 yards. He also had 30 yards on seven carries. Taishun Hall was Sandlin’s top receiver, with six catches for 131 yards.
