    Is there a Milford points shaving scandal for both the boys and girls basketball teams brewing with Hollis Talley(Ho) being and a yet to be identified player on the boys team as the “fixers” for Pranit’s gambling operation? Is he working with Vito from Goshen or is he an upstart naively attempting to horn in on Vito’s territory?

    At lunch Prance stands on a table and announces I’m flattered that so many of you have been asking for help with your picks. In all reality rather than doing it individually I’m starting at Sports Handicapping and Bookmaking Club. Our sponsor is Mopman who is deeply in debt to the Central City Outfit but that’s another storyline ( Hint Hint ,R&W ). Meeting date and time to be announced soon.

    A week after football season ends and the only basketball action we get is boys gym class? If R&W didn’t drag their stories out so much we might actually get to see the results of 8 or 9 football games and 12-15 basketball games in a strip (allegedly) about H.S. sports.

    I’d be not much good at basketball either on this court. I wouldn’t be able to figure out the teams- there’s gray, yellow, Valley Tech and black all on the court at once.

    He might be better at basketball if he didn’t shoot one-handed. He looks like Oscar Robertson at the free throw line.

    P1 is featuring the “Jim Abbots” hand-amputee team. They’ll be facing the Pete Gray “One-hand Clapping” squad and Vito has them favored by double digits.

    I hope this is a Gym class and not a team practice

    I don’t see Gil but that is not a true indicator

    Just an old story telling cliche. Now, we know he’s scrawny and not good enough to start. Prediction: With his Fantasy skills for analyzing athletes, we have the return of B-StatWiz without the math. Gil has a new scout to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents. Never thinking to use him on the Mudlarks, themselves. As for scrawny, he discovers Whey powder and takes her Captainship to the prom. Oops, I just ruined the next nine week of story.

    Pranit looks like the long lost son of Corporal Yo from Beetle Bailey comic fame.

    “Kicked out of the football pool for winning all the time”? How much $$ did he take from these chuckle-heads before they realized that it was Carter Hendricks?

    P1 makes more sense if you whistle Sweet Georgia Brown while looking at it.

    I’m sorry, but the kid passing and the kid catching in P1 both look like they’ve never payed basketball before. Plus everyone is jammed on the baseline and about to go out of bounds. Spread out!

    And speaking of spreading out, I’m hoping to spread out the word near and far that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.
