Video of Alexander's football career
2014 SEASON INFO
Alexander's team went 9-1 for the regular season. He has now lost 14 games in 10 years of playing (and 4 of those were in his first year).
Alexander had 14 TDs for the regular season. He was the second highest scorer, behind Eddie who had 15. However, Alexander didn't play at all
during the last game and only for the first drive of the second to last game, so probably would have led the team if he didn't get injured.
He averaged 7.4yds/carry during the regular season and had 85 carries for 631yds. In the playoffs, Alexander increased his number of TDs to 16, and had 41 carries for 286yds for an average of 7yds/carry. The Cardinals lost in the reginal semi-finals. This was Alexander's 15th career loss. Season Highlights |

October 10th vs. Brunswick, Mentor won 21-14
Alexander went 9 for 49 yards - not very good overall, but he had some good runs and his first (real) passing TD for varsity. As a freshman he made many, but other than a shovel pass last year, all of his TDs have been rushing. Ironically, no rushing TDs this game.
