The Linden Patriots fell behind early to county rival A.L. Johnson, but came alive in the second half to blow out the Jaquars.
After trailing 6-0 at halftime, Linden scored 21 points in the third quarter and 28 points in the fourth as they defeated A.L. Johnson, 49-6.
Devontae Poole had a big night for Linden, returning an interception for a touchdown, recovering a fumble, and hauling in a touchdown reception.
The Patriots are now 3-1 in the region and are playoff bound.
“We’re ready. I like where we are at right now. This was a big game for us and our guys responded,” said Linden Coach Andro Williams.
The Patriots will host Billingsley next week while A.L. Johnson hosts Maplesville.
