Thomas showed off his speed, instincts exacto-knife cutting ability and also a fierce will Friday with the ball in his hands and a former teammate in his heart.
“I had to focus. I had to lock in. I knew what was at stake. We wanted to do this for our brother, Xavier, so I had to lock in and make sure I did it for him,” Thomas said. “He is electric. He is dynamic. He’s the best athlete on the field,” Linden head coach Al Chiola said. “When he has the ball in his hands, that’s what he can do.
Along with those timely turnovers, Linden received stout overall defensive outings from Alex Donic, Shahad Brown,Davon McClintock and especially senior linebacker Myles Hamilton. The Sacred Heart commit was in the middle of just about every big defensive moment and he also chipped in with seven carries for 67 yards.

He later provided a 22-21 lead on a 35-yard punt return with 4:56 remaining in the game.Linden’s first answer following Canty’s 70-yard spring around right end came in the form of a three-play, 56-yard drive capped by a 15-yard run by Thomas.
