Kentucky Retros News Release
Murray, KY. "The newly formed 2007 expansion ABA team has changed its name to the Kentucky Retros," stated owner and GM Steve Van Waes. "The previous name, Kentucky Colonels, represents a long history of tradition and pride throughout the state of Kentucky. Our team recognizes this which is why we have decided to change our name."

Kentucky is known for its long standing greatness in basketball and the Kentucky Retros are eager to showcase their exceptional team once the players are in place. A player tryout camp will be held at the end of March to take advantage of the statewide talent Kentucky and other states have to offer.
