Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Linden). They breezed by the Hatch Bobcats at home to the tune of 52-0 on Friday. The Patriots might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by 22 points or more this season.
This one was won in the trenches and the lion's share of the credit has to go to Tyran Richardson and he. Richardson rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns while he rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Linden was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 385 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 242 rushing yards in five consecutive contests.
Linden's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. Hatch's QB won't forget Brent Curtis anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Curtis is also on a roll when it comes to sacks, as he's now sacked two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Linden now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Hatch, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-3.
Linden will look to defend their home field on Friday against Choctaw County at 7:00 p.m. The two teams have allowed few points on average, (Choctaw County: 16.8, Linden: 12.8) so any points scored will be well earned. As for Hatch, they will have plenty of time to ponder what went wrong as they've got a bye scheduled next week. After, they'll take on Greensboro at 7:00 p.m. on September 27th.
