Nashville Broncs News Release


Nashville, TN. Scott Lumley, owner of the ABA Nashville Broncs, welcomed basketball fans to Nashville Municipal Auditorium on Friday for an Open House and the opportunity to meet the team of many local star players, Broncs Girls dancers, head coach Jan van Breda Kolff and many special guests.

Nearly 2,000 people showed up for the day and evening of family fun and activities which culminated with an exciting exhibition game against the Davidson County Sheriff's Office team. The fast-paced and high-scoring game showcased the talent of the Broncs team including former Vanderbilt star point guard Mario Moore, former Belmont center Adam Sonn, former Vanderbilt guard Ronnie McMahan, former TSU star Josh Cooperwood, former Lipscomb standout LaKory Daniels and Trevecca's Curtis Lewis, among others.

Before the Tip_off, "American Idol" finalist Diana DeGarmo performed the national anthem. Other musical talent in the house included the popular Southern hip hop group Nappy Roots. The BEAT JAMZ' Dolewite and Scooby entertained the crowd throughout the day and night.

Donations were collected to benefit Mending Hearts, the organization which provides shelter, hope and healing to women who deserve sustainable recovery from addiction and homelessness.

Scott Lumley commented, "We want Nashville to feel connected to this Broncs team and this Open House was a great start to expose the community to the family fun atmosphere that we'll create this upcoming season. It was so nice to see so many people having fun and enjoy watching the great talent we have on our team."
