Big Blue Update - 011809

It was a stirring comeback for Big Blue as they rallied from a 22-14 deficit to score the last 17 points of the game and to defeat St. Anthony 5 31-22 this afternoon at Island Lake in Shoreview. Some really tight defense and clutch shooting down the stretch made the difference, as the Blues were able to wear down a well-coached St. Anthony squad.

As is his custom, Ben scored a basket and grabbed some rebounds, all while playing his usual tenacious defense on the wing. It was a thrilling game for everyone.

Big Blue now stands at 6-3 for the year and will return to action next Saturday for a tilt against the mysterious Roseville 5 squad. Game time is 1 p.m. at Brimhall Elementary in Roseville. When you want coverage of in-house youth basketball, especially among the titans of northern Ramsey County, look no further than Mr. Dilettante.
