Benjamin Russell shows improvement in loss to Talladega

Although an 84-67 loss certainly isn’t something to write home about, when it comes just two months after a 44-point defeat at the hands of the same thing, there is something to be proud of. That’s how Benjamin Russell’s boys basketball team is looking at its non-area loss to Talladega on Monday night anyway.

Although the Wildcats were defeated by nearly 20 points, it certainly wasn’t as bad as the first time around when they lost to the defending Class 5A state champion, 82-38, and what BRHS coach Jeremy Freeman was even more pleased about was how much better his team’s offense did Tuesday night.
