Local Product to Suit Up for Sound
September 19, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Strong Island Sound News Release
Patchogue, NY- To add youth to a team deep with veterans is always a plus. Especially when you also factor in that one of those younger players is a popular local. One of the participants at the Strong Island Sound's recent Rookie Tryout Camp was 6'6" forward Mike Mosby, who was a four-year player at Adelphi University.
When your hometown is a stone's throw from where you will be playing professionally, the ticket requests for friends and family will be plenty. Mosby resides in Lake Ronkonkoma, which is only a town or two away from the Suffolk County Community College Selden Campus, where the Sound play their home games.
At Adelphi, Mosby's numbers improved each season and in 2006-07, he played in 31 games and averaged nearly a double-double with 14.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, earning a spot on the All-East Coast Conference (ECC) 1st Team. In four years, he averaged 7.2 and 5.6 boards per game at the Long Island school.
Mosby will be joining a front court that already includes returnees Raphael Edwards, Raheim Lowery and Shawn 'Murder' Simpson. This should be an area of strength and depth for Strong Island, who will begin their third season in the ABA on November 4 when they take on the expansion Phantoms in Westchester.
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.
