Benjamin did his thing at Wingate. First of all te city of Wingate is a quaint secluded little college town. However the University is a top of the line facility. The grounds were impeccable and there are a plethera of brand-new buildings. This game was an exhibition between the Akron Winged Foots, a NABL travelling team and the Wingate university team.

I took some pictures of the action, but my camera is not that advanced so you will have to make due with pictures that I did get to take. Benjamin was surprised to see me, but you know I am always down to come check him out while he schooling some cats in the fine art of basketball-ology ( I made that up all by myself). Check out the rest of the article.......

Benjamin @ Wingate  Benjamin had a very controlled game, reminiscent of his days at NC State. Even though the guys were smaller and lighter, he did not take the easy way out by knocking them out of the way; even though he is capable. He efficiently sliced through the lane, and positioned hisself for the shots that he wanted to take. Time and time again he boxed out and outwitted the opponent to grab a ton of offensive and defensive rebounds. With a wingspan of 8' 6", snagging rebounds is child's play for him.

Benjamin is always joking around and was all but to happy to take this picture after the game. Oh, I bent his ear for a few minutes critiquing his game like a big brother should. However, he was hearing it.

Even though it may seem that I have a biased opinion of Benjamin 's skillz, I do not. I have the correct opinion of Benjamin's skillz.

Benjamin @ WingateThis is one of the few breathers that Benjamin took during the game. He banged and bruised those guys all night long. Soon after this picture, someone brought him some refreshments so that he'd have a little bit more left in his tank.

Benjamin hooked up with this team when he received an invitation from Bobby Rouse who is associated with the Akron WingedFoots who he impressed while at the SEBL event in Atlanta, GA.
