Bessey Designs Upsets E and E Awards in MVRBL: In a game that appeared at half time to be a prototypical win for E & E Awards (1-2), Bessey Designs (2-1) used a strong second half and overtime to shock their opponents, 78-77.  After Tyler Chaisson (21 points) hit 2 key free throws with limited time on the clock for E & E, Deonte Ring (22 points, 3 threes) then went the length of the court and instead of driving to the basket, pulled up from about 24 feet and hit a game winning 3 pointer for Bessey’s as the last few seconds ticked off, with no timeouts available.  Other top scorers for the winners were Zach Bonnivie with 14 points, Kyle Rines and Kyle Chade 12 each and Jake Bessey 10 more.  E & E scorers were led by Ben Holmes with 27 points, Chaisson 21, Jon Benjamin 15 and Nick St Germain 11.
