Lekhy ‘Khy’ Thompkins, a freshman running back and linebacker at Trinity Christian Academy has been named the NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM, WNWS.COM football ‘Player of the Week,” presented by Mann’s Wrecker and AJD Metal Designs.com.
‘Khy had what some might consider a career game – 234 yards rushing on 24 carries and four touchdowns in TCA’s 43-34 win at Fayette Academy, September 1.
“He also added a (quarterback) sack and additional tackles,” said Michael Mancini, TCA’s offensive coordinator, “He’s a great kid, fun to coach and we look forward to having him for the next three seasons, along with the rest of this season.”
‘Khy was more excited about the win than he was his statistics.
“It was very exciting, our first win after two losses,” ‘Khy said, “I was very excited for our (offensive) linemen who blocked really well in the Fayette Academy game and I just want to thank them.”
TCA plays at Union City – 7 p.m., Friday.
