In a rematch of the 2021 State championship game, defending State champion Trinity Episcopal defeated Benedictine 21-7 before an overflow crowd at the Abbey. Freshman Davion Brown caught three passes for 44 yards with all receptions resulting in touchdowns Brown, who already has offers from Virginia Tech, South Carolina and Duke scored all three touchdowns in dramatic fashion showing off his athletic ability.
After a scoreless 1st half the Titans opened the 3rd quarter with a 13-play drive but that stalled at the Benedictine 3-yard line. Both teams struggled to move the ball until a fake punt attempt by Benedictine gave Trinity Episcopal great field position at the Cadet 38-yard line.
Two plays later, Taegan Logan connected with Brown who made the first of his three acrobatic touchdown receptions securing the ball grab while being interfered for a 7-0 lead.
The Cadets answered less than a minute later, at the start of the 4th quarter, to tie the score at 7-7. Quarterback Wes Buleza passed in the middle of the field to running back David Ngendkuriyo who broke a tackle an took it to the house.
Trinity Episcopal fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Cadets took over at the Titans 29-yard line. However, Virginia Tech commit Cam Fleming stepped in front of a pass and returned it inside the Benedictine 25-yard line.
Facing a 3rd-and-goal from the 5-yard line, Brown made another great leaping grab to give the Titans a 14-7 lead. Trinity Episcopal extended the lead to 21-7 when Brown duplicated his previous leaping catch with five minutes to go in the game.
The 1st half was devoid of any offense as both defenses dominated. The teams combined for 11 punts and 96 combined yards from scrimmage. Easton Ogle had an interception for Benedictine while senior linebacker Henry Berling seemed to be in on every tackle. UNC recruit Joel Starling and Richmond commit TJ Baldwin led the Cadets defense upfront.
Trinity Episcopal defensive end Jon Brooks provided constant pressure in the Cadets backfield and was credited with a sack.
