Four Guys Named Ben Update - 020208

The Gold Standard was golden this afternoon, routing yet another mysterious but apparently well-regarded Mounds View team 38-23 at Chippewa Middle School. Even though the team was short-handed, with only 7 of the 10 players there, it was a wonderful, total team effort as our lads fought back from an early deficit and took control at halftime. Ben had his best all-around performance of the season, scoring 4 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, while managing 2 steals and an assist, even while spending a good part of the game guarding an opposing player who was significantly bigger and faster than Ben. Yep, Dad's a little proud.

The win brings the squad's final regular season record to 4-5-1. The year-end tournament begins next weekend, with the first game at 9 a.m. at Chippewa against one of the seemingly endless parade of Mounds View teams that we've seen this year.
