In a defensive struggle on September 28 against St. Christopher’s, junior defensive end Clelin Ferrell kept telling himself one thing.

“Just keep your motor running,” he said.

Ferrell and the Benedictine (Richmond, VA) defense enjoyed a stellar day against St. Christopher’s, holding the Saints to just 10 points in a 14-10 victory. The standout junior had at least one sack, accounted for a couple of tackles for loss, and had several quarterback hurries in the win, showing why he has earned 11 major college scholarship offers to date. A week later, he helped Benedictine (3-3) capture its third straight win in a 21-12 decision over Paul VI.
