Lake Charles Hurricanes News Release
Lake Charles, FL. MonaLisa Drake, owner and CEO of the ABA Lake Charles Hurricanes announced that ABA original, NBA legend Moses Malone would serve as President of Basketball Operations for the team scheduled to begin play in November 2006. According to Ms. Drake, "We are very excited to have Moses as part of our organization. Along with Freddie Lewis, Moses has received major recognition by having an ABA division named after him. His focus and mission will be to unite the best team of coaches and players possible and if the past is any indication of his ability, we will have a great team."

*Remember the ABA traveling school exhibit. This exhibit will travel from school to school education youth about the original ABA and the history of basketball. *The Starting LineUp, a basketball show to showcase pro, semipro and local basketball. *Nutri-Fit Program, a nutrition and fitness aware program. *Youth in Aviation Day, an event that will educate youth about aviation and its many opportunities.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
