Then there are players at schools who don’t have winning records, but are making their mark anyway. One is Brennan Ball, junior tailback for the Mechanicsville Mustangs and an accomplished student at Code RVA.

Ball has rushed for 1,171 yards on 188 carries with 14 touchdowns. He’s averaging 280 yards per game in the Mustangs’ three victories, but only 83 yards in their four defeats. Clearly, he is the focal point of every opponent.

He is not shy about appreciating what he’s done and how it plays into his hopes for the future. In an age where players are careful to speak publicly only about team results, Ball’s approach, because of his reasoning, is a breath of fresh air. It’s also not cocky.
