White County won’t get a lot of style points for its 6-0 victory over East Hall on Friday, which included a lost fumble at the goal line and a missed extra point, but all that really matters is that the Warriors picked up a critical Region 7-AAA victory. Running back Dalton Whitfield (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) showed he’s more than just a bruiser, piling up 122 yards on the ground thanks largely to a 73-yard run in the second quarter. Whitfield, who plays linebacker on defense, also helped hold Devin Watson, East Hall’s dual-threat quarterback, to a season-low in yardage.
