Helmers erupts for a school-record 51 points in Algona win
ALGONA—A wise person could say that the eyes of Algona’s Ben Helmers light up each and every time he sees Pocahontas Area on his team’s schedule.
Last year at Pocahontas, Helmers tied the Bulldog school record with 45 points and on Thursday, Jan. 23, Ben erupted for a new school record 51 points in an 87-62 non-conference boys basketball victory for the Bulldogs over the Indians.
