Yet Another Side To Our Fish
Tale From Shantay--(Sept 18, 1998)

Well, you asked for it, and we put it up, some of the details of our talk with Dave "Rockfish" Benezra. And as we suspected, trying to recall what he said two nights ago, working from memory and our notes, we managed to get some of the details confused. But Shantay Legans was there to straighten us out, and here's what he posted on the message forum. It will help make some sense out of some of what we've written.

Since it sounds like the phone call was rushed, I'll help out a little here. Rockfish vs. Oakland was the game we were down 24-7 in the first half and got it to 11 with my halfcourt shot at the buzzer. Then we ran 8 points on them right away and it was a battle from then on but we won. Dalron totally dominated Andrew Gooden and Brian was great. That's the game I got smacked upside the head. Then we played EBO in the final and never trailed. Rafael played Boozer very well and Eric Seiss and Russell Lakey were excellent helping out when Brian was out the whole second half with heat stroke and I was banged up and dizzy and seeing things myself. We also had Garrett Lee, Gabriel Hughes, Julian Sensley, and Solomon Brown helping us out on those 2 games.

Just a couple of the facts about the games. ROCKFISH!!!!!!!

There, now we've gotten it straightened out. Thanks Shantay.
