[Coach Bates @bf_ball_camp]

@coachmarkomaks @anthony_cukaj 16points 6 rebounds from a 15 year old with 8 minutes to go up one without keeping track of the fouls. I guess he did do a great job 😂😂😂. #GoRoseville set it up so we can finish the scrimmage.

[Coach Bates @bf_ball_camp]

@Simonwheeler_10 All they have to do is set it up when they want to play. All that talking online after the game was called up 1 point with 8 minuets left is for suckas! 😂😂😂😂
