Benet's Veselik puts best foot forward

There weren't too many places for Benet to hang its hat on Friday night during its season-opening 32-7 loss to Oswego.

But punter Andrew Veselik was as good of a hat rack as could be found. The senior had punts of 43, 37, 44 and 41 yards. What's even more impressive is that only one of those punts was returned, and that for only four yards.

That computes to an average net of 42.5 yards per punt. There isn't a coach in the state that would complain about that.

The only mishap for the punt team was the botched snap in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Veselik tried to snare the high snap, then tried to recover the loose ball, but Oswego recovered the fumble.
