The junior is a two way star as the leading rusher and tackler for Spring Lake Park . . . Ejodamen straps on the helmet at both running back and linebacker and had a stellar game Wednesday as Spring Lake Park capped a perfect regular season with a 29-20 victory over St. Francis. On offense, Ejiya carried the ball 19 times for 315 yards (a 16.6-yard average) and three touchdowns. On defense he finished with 17 total tackles, with 11 of them solo tackles. With the win, Spring Lake Park – which is ranked No. 2 in Class 5A — captured the outright North Suburban Conference title.

Through the eight-game regular season, Ejodamen has rushed 138 times for a school-record 1,406 yards and 17 touchdowns. On defense, he leads the team with 80 tackles (60 solo).
