X lose another

[psbf]

The Xplosion lost another in Minot, 118-100. Now the next stop is Lawton, on Monday where we can hopefully find another win. It would help if Shawn Fountain could return to the line-up. And John Strickland has to return to his scoring touch. I'm sure the Cavs will look better than when they visited. It should be a tough two games.

are we sure fountain is returning? Like i stated in another post, Fountain seemed content during his recent road swing through Pikeville, but he did mention some other teams wanting him to come play for them

[psbf]

He seemed fine, when he was doing autographs with John DeGroat, as I welcomed him to Pgh after a loss to Yakama in the first half of the season and I noticed how valuable he was to our team. As I also stated, he wanted to come to play under head coach Carlos Knox, so I see no reason why he would want to leave, especially with the way the Xplosion have been playing lately, he has been a large part of that. With him, the X would not have been blown out in Minot.
Unfortunately, the Xplosion give no mention of transactions, like they used to. I can only hope it has something to do with an injury. I did email the Xplosion asking about hiim so hopefully I will get a reply.

If He Were Injured He Would Be Placed On "injured Reserve" When You Leave To Play In France You Are Placed On "inactive Reserve".

[psbf]

if I don't take your word for it, sunkings. I know that we did have Antonio Graves left for France, but information was provided for him, which is why I find it hard to believe that Fountain left. If he had, I think it would have been in a news release.

[PikevilleOT]

France was what he mentioned to me in Pikeville also, but I didnt want to violate that personal communication. but since sunkings put it out.. he did mention France

[psbf]

to me is that he is still listed on the roster. Until/unless that changes, anything posted on here is just irrevelent.

sunkings, it seems we have been called irrelevant....lol

PSBF, just thought I would share the information with you regarding your team that was told to me personally by Shaun...
i won't make that mistake again.

[psbf]

your input, ot. Probably more than most others on here. It's good that you talked with Shawn and I don't want to sound like I'm putting you down.

thanks for the above... I know you are just supporting your team and if more in Pitt would step up the team could do much more I think... it is the same here in small-market Pikeville.. despite a quality product it hasnt been as well-received as I had hoped it might be.

expected the Expo Center to be packed. While I feel the Miners do have a decent average for a beginning team, I think they can get more fans in based on the webcasts that I've seen. But I think the Miners have done well in making appearances to promote the team. As the saying goes about Rome.
As far as the Xplosion, I have seen advertisements in publications, so I know they are promoting. I still feel that that they can do more, though. Having only 6 home games left is limiting, though-two of which are against your Miners.

In my original post I had mentioned that the Xplosion visit Oklahoma on Monday. I just noticed they visit Lawton on Sunday at 5:05, and again on Monday at 8:35.
