Broken Arrow junior tailback
Devon Thomas missed
his third straight game due to
unspecified reasons on Friday
night as the Tigers lost to
Union 26-21.
Thomas, however, is
expected to return for the
Tigers’ district opener against
Muskogee next Friday (Sept.
21).
“He should be back next
week,” Broken Arrow coach
Steve Spavital told Tulsa
World sports writer Kelly
Hines after Friday’s loss to
Union.
Thomas was the No. 1 area
player in the preseason Tulsa
World All-World rankings
after rushing for 1,840 yards
and 22 TDs last year.
Thomas’ return could be
very timely for the Tigers as
their leading rusher Cameron
Wrenn suffered an ankle
injury in the loss to Union. The
severity of the injury has not
been determined.
