Maywood Buzz News Release
Maywood, CA - After finishing last season 4-27, Buzz Head Coach Burrel Lee III started on the 2008-2009 season in April of 2008. "First I needed to find a Point Guard and build around him. I found him in Kenny Wright 6'3 G Long Beach City College who was a 2008 ABA All-Star and 3rd Team All-ABA. Kenny and I started to build the team" stated Lee.
Well finding the point guard and building the team has paid off. The Maywood Buzz is 6-0, and was 6-1 in the preseason for a whopping 12-1 record since October. Doc Rivers and his Boston Celtics had the big turn around and won a championship. We are trying to follow suit and believe we have that same reciepe for championship success.
Last night the Buzz beat the Los Angeles Push to push their 2008-2009 record to 6 wins and zero loses.
The Buzz was lead by guard Wesley Stokes (28pts, 10rebs & 6ast), forward Jermain Willform (22pts, 8rebs & 3blks), newly added forward Tarron Williams (19pts), center Donald Jones (16pts, 10rebs & 2blks) and guard Jamar Cramer (15pts). The Push was lead by guards Eric Homes (34pts) and Larry Williams (18pts).
The Buzz will next take on the Beijing Aoshen Olympians (0-2) on Sunday, December 21st at 4:00pm at the Maywood Activity Center. The Olympians are coming off back to back loses to the Buzz (119-103) and the Los Angeles Slam (126-121) a local travel team from the LA area. "We know they will be hungry and looking for that first win before they head to Salt Lake City" added Lee.
