Big Blue Update

Big Blue, Ben's Irondale in-house team, lost a hard-fought 31-27 contest against the mysterious Mounds View 73 team this afternoon at Island Lake School in Shoreview. The game was a defensive struggle with two talented teams but foul trouble left the Irondale squad depleted and an injury to another player allowed the Mounds View squad to prevail down the stretch, scoring an insurance basket with about 15 seconds left to seal the deal. Ben scored a key basket in the second half and played a strong overall game.

The loss leaves Big Blue's record at 3-1 and they will return to action next Saturday with a 10 a.m. matchup against St. Anthony at the St. Anthony Community Center. As always, Mr. Dilettante is the go-to blog for breathless reportage on in-house basketball in Northwest Ramsey County.
