BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Now that one-half
(actually 53.3%) of the Flyer basketball schedule is in the books, it's time once again to hand out report cards on the 14-2 Red & Blue.
Since we last graded the Flyers they have not dropped a game, but have lost three players: the Northland twins to sheer stupidity and Ryan Bass to concussion symptoms.
And the team's response:
So what?
