In only his sophomore season, Hopewell's Rushel Shell has become a human highlight reel to admires, and a total nightmare to any defense that gets in his way.
Shell had his best game to date last Friday, thrashing the West Allegheny Indians for 349 yards and three touchdowns in our Eat 'n Park Game of the Week.

While Shell has had no problem lighting up the scoreboard for the Vikings this season, he also lit a fire under the crowd at Hopewell High School when he was presented with the Clearview Federal Credit Union Student-Athlete of the Week award on Thursday.

Clearview's Casey Ramsey, a Hopewell graduate, was also on hand to present the school with a check for $250.
Shell has lead the Vikings to a 7-0 record and first place in the WPIAL AAA Parkway Conference this season.
His 1,492 yards ranks tops in the WPIAL and he has rushed for more than 100 yards in every game.
But mowing down opposing defenses is nothing new in Shell's family lineage.
He is the nephew of University of Pittsburgh Heisman Trophy winner and Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl running back Tony Dorsett.
Dorsett also attended Hopewell High School and the football stadium has been named after him.
