Our intrepid basketballers, coming off the brutal scrimmage against the girls last night, took the court against one of what appears to be several dozen Mounds View teams this afternoon at Chippewa Middle School. The boys prevailed 20-14, wearing down their undermanned opposition. Since Ben is on the gold team this year, I think we'll call this squad the "Gold Standard."
As for our particular Ben, he did not score, but took two shots and was "ferocious" on defense, according to one of the other dads. And indeed, Ben was; he forced five turnovers that I counted and he shut down the guy he was guarding entirely. Ben also managed an assist and 4 rebounds. All in all, a good showing. And Ben didn't get trampled, unlike what happened the night before.
Anyway, the team is now 2-1-1 and will take the court next week against yet another mysterious Mounds View team at Chippewa. More details anon.
