Four Guys Named Ben Update - 012608

Ben's Gold Standard lost another heartbreaker this morning, 24-22 to yet another mysterious Mounds View team at Chippewa Middle School. Their opponents had a lot of height, including one young fellow who was well on his way to 6 feet tall, and despite our guys's best effort, it was not meant to be. Ben did not score, but he grabbed four rebounds, made two steals and garnered an assist, along with his usual tenacious defense. The team's record now stands at 3-5-1 with one last game on the regular season schedule, again at Chippewa. Game time is 1 p.m. Remember, Mr. Dilettante is your source for continuing coverage of Irondale in-house 5-6 basketball.
