For my player, the main highlight of the season came in what was an unfortunate loss to the Second Line in week 3 of the season. In the game, Crossley had 8 catches for 88 yards both of which were the current highs for the season thus far and for his career to that point. However, what would make the day special for Crossley was that he scored two separate touchdowns on the day. This marked Crossley's third multi-score game of his young career. The first Crossley touchdown was a 4-yard reception that was set up by a scintillating 45 yard reception by Hood earlier on the drive. It was the first score of the game and the only time the Cats held the lead on the day. Crossley's final score of the day came at the end of an impressive 95 yard drive orchestrated by the Sabercats offense. Crossley caught a beautifully placed pace from 14 yards out. Unfortunately for Crossley and the team, the game was long over by the point of this touchdown reception. While the result of the game was not what the team wanted, Crossley helped establish himself as a true receiving threat that day on the way to his first 1000 yard season. Crossley will look to build off of games like this as his ISFL career continues.
