Big Blue Update - 011009

Ben's Irondale Big Blue squad rallied late but fell short, losing to a steady Mounds View 75 team 35-29 this afternoon at Island Lake Elementary School in Shoreview. The game was fairly close but the Mounds View squad pulled away in the second half and held on despite a barrage of 3-point bombs late for the Blues.

Ben scored a basket and played his usual stellar defense. The loss brings the squad's record to 5-3 and they will return to action next week against St. Anthony 6, again at Island Lake. Game time is 2 p.m. Remember, Mr. Dilettante is your source for coverage of in-house youth basketball of the northern Ramsey County persuasion.
