In Linden’s season opening win against Elizabeth at Kean University exactly one week ago, Te’quan Thomas sensed his team needed a big play, and he ran one in from more than 20 yards out to give his team the win.
This Friday night against Rahway after his team jumped out to a 14-0 lead and then gave it away in the second quarter, Thomas – the reigning Bellamy & Son Paving Big Central Player of the Week – scored a 50-yard touchdown to give his team a 21-14 lead at the break.
Then after a Rahway field goal to open the second half, Thomas responded with a 69-yard score to make it 28-17.
The Tigers (2-0) held Rahway (1-1) to a field goal the rest of the way for a 28-20 victory.
