Ben and his parents at sister Carlee's game - March 6, 200715868 viewsFrom the Toledo Blade: "As usual, Brunswick's game plan did little to slow Roethlisberger as Findlay rolled to a 54-39 victory at Norwalk High.
Roethlisberger made her first two baskets on her way to scoring a game-high 21 points. She also grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the Trojans (20-4). Her all-around strong performance, which came before a Findlay fan base that included her brother, Ben - the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, helped put Findlay one victory shy of a state tournament berth.
"We're feeling pretty confident," said Roethlisberger, a 6-foot-1 senior. "But we're taking it one game at a time."

From USA Today:
Roethlisberger’s autumns have been kind of busy. And something always seemed to prevent him from enrolling in time for the winter term. AFC Championship Games, for instance.
But the Steelers were quick outs against Denver the past season and the morning after the defeat, his Miami academic advisor sent him an email. Roethlisberger figured it was a note of condolence. Instead, it was a call to class.
“He responded in less than 20 minutes,†said Melissa Chase, associate dean. “He never asked for a shortcut. It was always, ‘What do I need to do?’ He did everything we asked of him. I know this was always a very important goal for him.â€
What they asked of him at the end included a paper on Tibet. “Which I knew nothing about,†he said. Analyzing the New England defense was never like this. But luckily wife Ashley, with two degrees, makes a swell study buddy. He ended up with an A, and possibly more knowledge of Tibet than any quarterback in the NFL.
