Brock Benson Has Career-Day on Friday
North Judson-San Pierre was led to victory by Brock Benson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Benson rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Unfortunately for Caston, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Benson. Benson rushed for 208 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Comets duked it out back in August of 2023.
