After guiding the Bobcats to a 13-2 record, an appearance in the Class 3A state championship game along with a regional title, Thomas can now lay claim to the state\u2019s biggest honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While this award may bear my name, it belongs to each and every member of the team,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cWithout their dedication, support, and hard work, none of this would have been possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned in a record-breaking season that will be remembered for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas finished with 3,817 rushing yards, 54 rushing touchdowns, and 373 points \u2014 all state records. He carried the ball 400 times, and finished with an average of 9.5 yards per carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also dominated defensively, finishing with 94 tackles (77 solo) while also having a fumble recovery that went for a score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
