Tallmadge strong on D-Line

By jcfortun Published: August 31, 2009

Although the Blue Devils fell to Nordonia 34-19, they found out their run defense is something they can rely on.

Tallmadge kept the Knights to negative yardage on the ground and sophomores Tucker Linder and Heath Thomas were a big reason why.

Thomas took up a few blockers every time, Tallmadge coach Joe Vassalotti said.

He finished the game with three tackles, one and a half for loss and half a sack. Linder finished the game with a fumble recovering and one tackle for loss.

Senior Ryan Peterson led the way with seven tackles of his own.
