WHAT TO WATCH Anyone wearing a St. Thomas Aquinas uniform, especially a defender, who saw action against Warren JFK last season should have a lot of incentive. Tony Elzy rushed 438 yards on 35 carries and scored seven TDs against the Knights. None of Elzy’s TD runs were less than 10 yards. One was 78 yards. Elzy, now a senior, has not slowed down. He ran for 184 yards and four TDs against Erie Central Prep. Aquinas must rebound from a tough loss at Columbus Hartley. The Knights jumped to a 10-0 halftime lead before Hartley rallied in the third quarter. The Aquinas running game rolled up 283 yards last week. Junior Kendall Washington rushed for a game-high 153 yards on 16 carries. The Knights lead this series, 12-2.
