It’s not crazy to believe that Brent Benson has a lot of basketball left in his 27-year-old legs. The 2004 Gainesville High graduate always kept the faith that he’d get a chance to continue playing the game he loved, through good times and bad. Benson's latest venture on the hardwood begins Monday when he leaves to join the Birmingham Knights, a newly-formed team in the British Basketball League in England.
