“This is a prestigious honor for each of these players.” said Charleston head coach Ralph Lundy. “For the Cougars to have 4 All-Americans coming into our program speaks volumes about this recruiting class. We look forward to getting our season started in a couple of weeks and want 2009 to be special."
Benson and Ferguson both prepped at Northwestern High School in Rock Hill, S.C. and led their squad to a perfect 24-0 record this past season on their way to a state championship.
