Local High School player wanted on and off field
SUFFOLK – If you’ve been to a St. Augustine Good Touch/Bad Touch Academy game lately, you’ve been in for a treat. Anthony Thomas, 18, of Suffolk, or “Tony T.” as he prefers to be called, is making quite a name for himself on and off the football field. Thomas leads the Jesus Loves the Little Children and 8 Man Football conferences in both touchdowns and rushing yards. In just his last game against the Children of the Poor Academy out of Dinwiddie, Thomas ran for 295 yards and 7 touchdowns, while making 14 tackles and an interception in the Good Touch/Bad Touch Academy’s 85-75 win. “I just go out there and try to make plays, like Coach says,” said Thomas. “My two down lineman were really opening up some holes and I was getting in the secondary on every carry. I just got to thank my Mom and God for this performance.”
