Senior Khendell Puryear has two
interceptions and senior Jahsi Meade has an
interception and two fumble recoveries.
As a team, Lincoln has forced five
interceptions and seven fumbles. While their
defense has been rock solid, their offense
may be even better. Forcing turnovers has
allowed more opportunities to get points
on the board, and they have done just that,
thanks to the team’s stellar offense.
The Railsplitters have scored 218 points
on the season, to their opponents’ 39.
Lincoln’s lowest point total in one game this
season was 26, which they did twice. Other
than that, they have put up at least 36 points
a game.
Senior quarterback Javon Moore has
completed 61 of 94 pass attempts this
season, piling up over 1,200 yards and 13
touchdowns. Moore has thrown as least two
touchdowns in every game this season, with
the exception of the one, against Tottenville.
Senior runningback Antoine Holloman
Jr. has played a big part in the offense as
well. Holloman Jr. has rushed for 654 yards
on 84 attempts, and an average of over seven
yards per carry. He has also found the end
zone 11 times, including once on a 70-yard
run.

Holloman Jr. does more than just run with the ball,
he is part of a deeply talented receiving core, and
has chipped in 10 catches for 165 yards and a pair
of touchdowns.
Senior receiver Malik Andrews has been the
biggest target for Moore, though. Andrews has
gained over 500 yards on 25 catches, and has scored
five touchdowns, including a 90-yard reception.
These are just a few of the biggest players on
the Railsplitters’ roster that have been putting up
big numbers, but Lincoln has many others that have
stepped up as well. This is an experienced team
that is loaded with talent throughout the lineup, and
they clearly have what it takes to win.
In recent years, the Railsplitters have posted
records of 13-0, 12-1 and 8-3. Lincoln has recorded
39 wins over the past four seasons combined. From
2004 through 2009, they won just 24 times, so they
are doing something right.
Their program has made adjustments, and is
now heading in the right direction and in full swing.
The Railsplitters are a team to keep an eye on, as
they possess depth, experience, determination and
intimidation. Lincoln is aiming to go far this year,
and they have what they need to accomplish that.
