Congratulations to Seton Sobolewski and his women's basketball team, who completed a sweep of the Nos. 1 and 3 teams in the league this weekend with wins over Portland State and Eastern Washington. If the Bengals can beat a very good Sac State team on senior night Friday, they can finish as high as second in the league and get a first round tournament bye. Great job, ladies.

Also, congrats to incoming Bengals Wes Howard of Poky and Beaugh Meyer of Capital, who won the state 4 and 5A heavyweight wrestling titles, respectively, in Holt Arena over the weekend. I love the toughness of kids who wrestle. Looking forward to having you both as Bengals,
 
Also from the "glass is half full" department...

Andre Hatchett, who has already signed an LOI with ISU, scored 26 points last night as his high school team won the Arizona state championship in its division...

With the (Santa Rita) Eagles trailing 44-38 entering the second half, the 6-foot-4-inch Hatchett began to take over, scoring Santa Rita's first nine points of the second half, taking the lead back for the Eagles at 51-50 on a soft jumper near the baseline.

I suppose if she was put on a leave of absence then we would have put one out. And thanks for emailing Kelvin as well, since he just called. Appreciate that....

Here is your answer from the Bengal Bog:

Also, I want to touch on something, and I'm only doing this because I'm gonna guess the same pinhead who posted some serious misinformation on the Bengal Den message board contacted Kelvin at the Idaho State Journal trying to stir up some controversy. This past weekend assistant coach Shelly Prochaska handled the team, and she will do the same for the Arizona State tournament this weekend, because we granted head coach Andrea Wilson some time off to tend to a personal family matter.

Of course, the phone call I got from Kelvin was that he got a tip that we placed Andrea on administrative leave. I can confirm and end all those rumors right here....Andrea Wilson is dealing with a personal issue and will be back with the team shortly. What sucks is I even had to put that out there, but I know how rumors get started...
 
Oooops...

This may not be one of the worst managed athletic departments in all of America but it sure seems like it sometimes.
 
First Larry Stocking gets put on paid administrative leave and is charged with embezzling funds. And now her replacement Andrea Wilson, gets put on administrative leave and is charged with wrongdoing. Who knows, maybe it's the for the same thing. We'll find out soon. Both of these people are good mormons and they know better than that. A real fine example for people of their faith.
 
While I can't get into specifics obviously, I can say that there was nothing criminal in terms of embezzling or anything of that nature.
