Vermont Frost Heaves News Release
South Burlington, VT - The Vermont Frost Heaves have added 3 more players to their upcoming 2008/2009 roster. Chris Cayole, Regis Koundjia and Greg Plummer have all signed and will report on Monday to the opening of training camp.
Chris Cayole, former St. Michaels starter returns for his second season with the Frost Heaves. Chris won the slam-dunk competition last year in Barre and wowed the crowds with his acrobatic play all season long. At St. Michael's College Chris started all 29 games as a senior, averaging 13.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while blocking 42 shots. "Chris has really shown a lot of improvement this summer. I have been really impressed with his development, and believe that with continued hard work, he could become a very good pro player. I am counting on Chris to play a much bigger role for us this season" said Head Coach Will Voigt.
Regis Koundjia starred for the George Washington University Colonials and graduated in 2007. He hails from the Central African Republic, and Regis has played with his national team in the FIBA Africa Championship in 2005 and 2007. Regis comes in at 6'8", 218 pounds and is long and quick around the basket. Coach Voigt had this to say about Regis: "Regis was on my radar after playing on the San Antonio Spur's summer league team. He also came highly recommended to us by Coach Hobbs at George Washington, and by former Frost Heave player Dokun Akingbade. He really impressed me with his length and athleticism. He is a great defender and a very good passer who will be counted on to fill many rolls for us." Stated Coach Voigt.
Greg Plummer played last summer for the Frayles de Guasave Mexico-CIBACOPA where as a starter he played 10 games averaging 19.5ppg, 4.3rpg, 4.0apg, and averaged 65.4% from two point range and averaged 46.3% from three point range.. Coach Voigt on Greg: "I saw Greg at a camp in Toronto and was impressed with how much he had improved since I had coached him in the All-Star game 2 years ago. Clearly he had been working on his game, which showed me that he would fit in perfectly with our team culture." Greg was recently drafted by the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA D-League and comes to the Frost Heaves fresh off his most recent tryout.
The Frost Heaves would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
