Northern Lehigh hasn't had a lot of dual-threat quarterbacks. Mostly because the Bulldogs haven't relied much on passing the ball.

Tekoah Guedes showed off both his skills Friday night in leading the Bulldogs to a 28-0 homecoming win over Salisbury.The junior quarterback ran for a game-high 67 yards and a touchdown, while throwing for 126 yards and another score."We got moving and got some quarterback runs going," said Guedes. "They couldn't stop us. We had a good line push today. Our line was on fire."When Salisbury tried to stack the box and stop the run, Northern Lehigh spread out its offense and put the ball in Guedes' hands.He carried the ball six times and completed two passes on an eight-play drive that was capped by his 16-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter."The way they loaded up against us early, going spread was our answer," said Bulldog head coach Joe Tout."[Guedes] made a lot of plays tonight. He did a nice job. He's getting better week in and week out. He ran well tonight. He can throw the ball, but he's another running back if you need him."The Bulldogs (3-5) made it 14-0 with a seven-play drive that was capped by Mason Seiler's 3-yard scamper with 5:42 left in the first half.The Bulldog defense was just getting settled in. After allowing the Falcons three first downs on their first drive, which stalled at midfield, Northern Lehigh didn't allow another the rest of the half."Best game by far," Tout said his defense's effort, adding that stopping the Salisbury flexbone offense is a tough task. "Every film we saw of Salisbury, they moved the ball."Salisbury (2-6) managed just 123 yards of offense and was averaging 19 points per game. It was the Bulldogs' first shut out of the season.Northern Lehigh made it 21-0 when Guedes found Damion Rodriguez behind Salisbury's defense for a 70-yard touchdown pass with 8:06 left in the game.Guedes completed five passes on 11 attempts and finished with 126 passing yards.The junior moved here from Colorado in the middle of last season. He played safety and some wide receiver last year before taking over at quarterback this year."That's my No. 1 favorite thing to do is go deep and throw the ball," said Guedes. "I came from a gun-slinging offense in Colorado before I move here. I came here and we're starting to throw the ball more and I love it."The Bulldogs capped the scoring when Austin Hemingway picked off a Cameron Vaka pass and ran it 62 yards for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead with 3:30 left to play.Falcon head coach Tony Cerco thought his defense played well, but Northern Lehigh's offense played better."We were maintaining our gaps and they were finding the smallest crease," he said of the Bulldog running game. "They did a great job. They've got some good running backs. They're a good team."PLAYOFF PICTURE ...
