I remember the video proud papa shared at Homecoming just a couple of years ago. The kid is phenominal!
Congrats to father and son as it is a team effort.

Outstanding work Benjamin.......pretty much speaks volumes for Jim as well. Starting life out on top of the winners platform is not a bad place to be.
Should be on the "Wheaties" box ! That is a Norman Rockwell picture for sure, and with a young lady in 3rd.....too cool!

That video (along with being exposed to the sport through my nephew) is what got me to keeping up with Ben's progress. I've posted some pics here before. He has been very successful.
