Express Pastes Grand Rapids

The Elkhart Express machine rolls on, tonight chalking up another win against the Grand Rapids Flight and world's tallest athlete Sun Ming Ming. Scoring was fairly close in the beginning, but the Elkhart Boys pulled ahead, putting a total of 159 points on the board against Grand Rapids' 129. Coleco and Pledger were the high scorers, but obviously, the whole team was hot this evening.

Coach Daimon Beathea (right, with team member Phil Calvert), has put together one of the area's premiere entertainment draws. I'm not the only one who believes this, but he's been a great public face for the community; committed, enthusiastic and focused on doing things for kids as well. To top it off, the Express has been a winning team and looks like it will end up this season at or near the top of the IBL heap.

There's more Elkhart Express action to come this season, including likely playoff games. Anyone who hasn't caught this fever is missing out on a true Elkhart treasure.
