Herb Benham on Dave Anderson

Herb Benham brings his A-game to a profile of our own Dave Anderson.

Anderson grabs a rebound. No, Anderson rips the rebound away from John Maynard. Come to find out, Anderson is known for his sharp elbows. Get close and you may experience the "Channel of Death."

One rebound becomes two and two becomes three. He whistles a chest pass like Bill Walton. By mid- game, Anderson has 10 points. He's just short of a triple double.

"Do you need help guarding him?" said farmer Larry Starrh.

Who is this guy? What's his secret? Did Anderson come from a planet where 80 is the new 24?...

Be sure to read the whole thing. In addition to his regular Wednesday and Friday games, Anderson played forward for the Shafter Alumni squad.
