Big Blue got off to a tough start and struggled all day, losing to a tall, talented and undefeated Roseville 5 team 52-28 this afternoon at Brimhall School in Roseville. This was by far the most talented team that our charges have faced this season and things got out of control early, as several early shots did not fall and the Roseville squad got off to a 7-0 lead. Things never really got closer than that, despite the best efforts of our players.
Ben did not score but played well in defeat, grabbing a few rebounds and playing good defense, often against taller opponents. Big Blue's record now stands at 4-2 and the squad will get a holiday break, returning to action on January 10 for a rematch against Mounds View 73. Game time is 2 p.m. at Island Lake School in Shoreview. When you want coverage of 7th and 8th grade in-house basketball in the northern suburbs of Ramsey County, and who doesn't, there's no better place to find it than Mr. Dilettante.
