Standout Performances from Zion-Benton’s 54-0 Win Over Waukegan

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Zion-Benton Zee-Bees got the best of one of their cross-town rivals after defeating&nbsp;the Waukegan Bulldogs 54-0 this past weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zion-Benton scored early and often and didn't allow Waukegan to put up a single point on the board. One thing worth noting about Zion-Benton's roster is they are loaded with young talent, and from what I saw this past weekend, they could without a doubt be a sleeper team next season and climb up the Lake County Power Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So without further ado, let's take a look at some of the prospects from Zion-Benton who had standout performances&nbsp;this past weekend...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-dots"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='266220' first='Darrion' last='Coleman'] | RB | 2024</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":466078,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/IMG_0218-225x300.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-466078" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coleman finished the game with one rushing touchdown and displayed how&nbsp;naturally gifted a runner he is on the field. He's a great athlete with good upside, and if he can put it all together, he'll be a sight to see next year as a senior. He's a shifty runner with above-average speed and simply gets the job done on the ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Keith Foulks | RB | 2025</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":466079,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/IMG_0217-225x300.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-466079" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was really impressed by the way Foulks ran the ball, especially in the 2nd quarter. There was one drive in particular in which dominated form start-to-finish. He displayed a combination of power and finesse that was capped off by a 12-yard touchdown run. He's also a sophomore who appears to have a promising future ahead of him</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='347641' first='Ethan' last='Bieszczat'] | LB | 2023</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":466084,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/IMG_0214-225x300.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-466084" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bieszczat had himself an impressive day on the defensive side of the ball. His motor was non-stop and It seemed like he was wherever the ball was and was making his presence felt with each tackle. He capped off his day with a scoop-and-score that put the final nail in the coffin on Waukegan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1564091' first='Rmoni' last='Beals'] | WR | 2025</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":466090,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/IMG_0215-225x300.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-466090" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beals completed the game with two receiving touchdowns and showcased why he has a chance to be a special receiver over the next few years for Zion-Benton. He's a playmaker from the receiver position who is dangerous as a deep threat. Has great size for a receiver and has an effortless stride. With Beals only being a sophomore, he's definitely a prospect coaches are going to want on their radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>William King | QB | 2024</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":466076,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/IMG_0216-225x300.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-466076" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King's stellar performance puts him on my radar as one of the rising dual-threats in Lake County. The junior quarterback finished the game with one rushing touchdown and three through the air and was without a doubt the driving force behind Zion-Benton's offensive attack. He's still early in his development but appears to have all the necessary skills to have a breakout senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"className":"is-style-dots"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"x-large"} --> <p class="has-x-large-font-size"><strong><em>In-Game Highlights</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576231661955522560?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576231661955522560?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576238699397885953?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576238699397885953?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576249129272893445?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dclay1889/status/1576249129272893445?s=46u0026t=HtUuc2IkhoIkCQG1MdbFiw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
