"We had a couple early breakdowns," Benedictine running back Jahmal Brown said after the Bengals defeated Euclid, 20-14, in a nonleague game Saturday night at Bedford Bearcat Stadium. "Then, we picked it up and got more intense. "I tell our linemen, All you have to give Chris [Austin], Troy [Huddleston] and me is a little seam, and we'll get something from it.' In the third and fourth quarters, we were able to do that." Benedictine is the two-time defending state champion in Division III and ranked 15th in The Plain Dealer poll, but the victory was the Bengals' first in three games. Brown, a 5-10, 189-pound senior who was a key to last year's title run, ran for 137 yards and two long touchdowns on 19 carries. Euclid's fine defense, which features standout linebacker Thaddeus Gibson, held Benedictine to 76 yards in 23 first-half carries. Then, in the second half, the Bengals ran 21 times -- not counting a quarterback sack -- for 178 yards. Benedictine snapped a 14-14 tie with 7:16 left in the game, when Brown rambled 31 yards over left tackle for a touchdown, capping an eight-play, 60-yard drive. Linemen Joe Kenney, Teree Harris, Tyler Heil, Nick DiPalma, Larin Collins and Brian Kennedy keyed the Bengals' run-blocking, along with tight ends Eric Thomas and Christian Hanna. "Jahmal does a lot on his own, too," Benedictine coach Art Bortnick said. "He has great hips, he's got great vision and he never stops his legs." Benedictine went 88 yards in three plays on its first possession of the second half to go ahead, 14-7. Austin had runs of 4 and 31 yards before Brown broke two tackles at the line of scrimmage and sped 53 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown. Alex Steigerwald kicked his second extra point. Euclid (1-2) then turned a fumble recovery by Chris Parrish into a 2-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown by Devon Jennings. Matt Zuzic's second extra point tied the game at 14. Bengals linebacker Dwight Duncan intercepted two passes, the first of them giving Benedictine the football on its 42 late in the first quarter. Huddleston finished the 58-yard drive when he sprinted 22 yards around left end for the game's first touchdown. Jennings returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards to the Benedictine 37. Jennings completed a 30-yard pass to Jamall Javey before his 5-yard touchdown pass to Hayden Lewis. "We played incredibly hard," Euclid coach Mike Rezzolla said. "They're a great running team." Duncan, linebackers Brown and Bruce Davis and linemen Matt Bortnick and Mike Schiavoni keyed Benedictine's defense.

Looked at that vidio and he looks much bigger than I would have thought. He looks like he is a DE size but can flat out run. He keeps his pads low, can blow over people or use his quickness to go around.
A very very impressive and a BIG kid. Wow. |
