A Season-Best Performance from Benson White Leads Conifer over Wheat Ridge

White rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
