Terrell Jana had a career night of football for the St. Thomas More Knights last week.
The Grade 11 pivot set a school record for the longest touchdown from scrimmage while leading the No. 3-ranked Knights to a 50-14 victory over the W.J. Mouat Hawks in Abbotsford on Friday.
Jana set the new school mark with a 97-yard touchdown run, while piling up 419 all-purpose yards for the Knights, including 259 yards on the ground and two scores. He also threw two touchdown passes and accounted for another 160 through the air.
Receiver J.J. DesLauriers, with 77 yards, caught both TD passes for STM. Shane Noel, with 59 rushing yards, and Andrew Flett also scored TDs for the Knights. Jordan Stewart had an additional 77 yards rushing for STM.
The Knights led 21-7 at halftime.
"We played much better in the second half," said STM head coach Bernie Kully. "Mouat came out and played very physical, and we didn't respond as well as we could have."
Spencer Moore and Ben Steele led the STM defence with eight tackles apiece. Moore also registered a quarterback sack.
Robert Erasto chipped in with seven individual tackles, including two sacks and a pair of forced fumbles.
The win improved STM's record to 5-1 in the B.C. high school AAA Eastern conference. Terry Fox leads the conference with a 5-0 mark.
"Next week is a big game for us and we need to have a good week of practice to get ready for a good opponent," said Kully.
The Knights will have their hands full this Friday, when they take to the road to face third-place Lord Tweedsmuir.
