Final score: Benson 7, B-B-E 6. The season has concluded. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of the players and coaches on the team! Regardless of their win total for the season, I am honored by the privilege of covering them. They battled with all they had today to the very last out. Through the entire season, they were always in good spirits, cheery, friendly and grateful for the opportunity to compete in spite of the challenges they faced. They have earned my full admiration for all their efforts.
