It’s good to have options and Vicksburg quarterback Stanton Price certainly has them in his Gators’ receiving corps.

If the junior quarterback wants to stretch the defense, he can by going deep to speedster Vernon Wolfe.

If he wants to go across the middle to get a first down against a zone defense, he can with 6-foot, 3-inch junior John Qualls.

And if he wants a quick throw and let his receiver make a play, he can go to either Delmon Robinson or Les Lemons.

&#8220I’ve been lucky to have such a good group of receivers to throw to,” Price said this week as the Gators (4-6) prepare for their annual slugfest with Warren Central (4-6) Friday night at Memorial Stadium. &#8220Having four guys with different styles gives me a lot options.”

With the four-pronged attack, Price has been able to compile one of the better passing seasons in central Mississippi. He has completed 120 of 207 passes for 1,421 yards and 10 touchdowns. He’s also non-committal about who is his favorite target.

&#8220They’ve all been good to me, I can’t name one at this time, maybe last year I could,” Price said.

Statistically, it’s been Wolfe, a senior.

&#8220Vernon’s fast,” Robinson quips.

Wolfe, who has 35 receptions for 612 yards and six TDs, agrees but it’s also more than that.

&#8220I’ve had people tell me they like my hands and my speed. But it’s also because I run precise routes. When Stanton goes through his checks to see what the defense is doing, I’m usually the lucky one to get the ball off the check down,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe’s route running and his ability to get downfield has drawn interest from Louisiana Tech and a number of junior colleges. He is arguably one of the most sought after players in Warren County this fall.

Qualls’ name has come up a lot because a handful of recruiting magazines like his size and his ability to hit the seams of the defense.

&#8220I’m a possession receiver,” Qualls said.

For the year, he’s caught 24 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns. &#8220If our line blocks it makes it easier for Stanton to get the ball to us. All of us receivers can bring something.”

&#8220Yeah, I’m quick, Vernon’s fast and John’s slow,” Robinson said with a chuckle.

Qualls admits, he wants to be quicker next season.

&#8220My speed is something I’m going to try to get better,” said Qualls, who does have a 50-yard reception this year.

Rounding out the unit is sophomore Les Lemons, an elusive runner who has 28 catches for 231 yards. Lemons has split time at quarterback and running back before finding a home at split end.

Gators coach Alonzo Stevens is a big believer in the group.

&#8220They are as good as any in the state. Vernon is big-time. As good as you want. Qualls, without question, is a big target and then you add Delmon and Les in the mix, and it’s as good a group as you’ll find,” Stevens said.

The one problem the Gators have encountered, though, is getting points.

&#8220From 20 to 20, we’re really good. It’s just inside the red zone, it gets tougher for us,” Robinson said. &#8220But its something we working on everyday.”
