Ben Pfaff rushes for 140 yards, scores two touchdowns to help lead Bellarmine to NorCal championship.
Bellarmine celebrates after winning against Vanden-Fairfield in the CIF NorCal Division 3-A championship at San Jose City College in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022. SAN JOSE — The expectation was for a low-scoring game between two defense-first teams. Add in the steady rain that fell all day, and doubts hovered as to whether either team would crack double figures in the scoring column.
So now Bellarmine , left for dead and halfway buried with a 3-6 record at the end of October, gets to play for a state championship. The Bells will host Laguna Hills next Saturday at 6 p.m. “I’m just super excited,” said running back Ben Pfaff, who rushed for 140 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns. “This has been a dream of mine ever since I came to Bellarmine.”
The Bellarmine defense, terrific all game, kept Vanden out of the end zone, allowing just a 24-yard field goal that gave the visitors the lead in the first quarter.
