May 3, 2006 - Continental Basketball Association 1 (CBA 1)
Rockford Lightning News Release
The 2006 CBA Rookie of the Year and Rockford Lightning starting forward is staying
busy in the off-season both on and off the basketball court.
Roger Powell Jr. is coming off a very successful rookie year with the Lightning in
which he was named the CBA Rookie of the Year, starter in the All-Star game,
All-League 2nd Team, and broke a 12-year old Lightning rookie scoring
record.
When the Lightning season ended last month as they fell just short of the CBA
Finals, Powell returned home to continue to train for the NBA. He has also made it
his calling and his passion to spread the word of God to the new generation of
athletes that are beginning their journeys through the high school and college
ranks.
Roger is returning to Rockford on Thursday, May 4th, as the featured speaker at the
Rockford Area Leadership Prayer Luncheon that will be held from 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
at Giovanni's Restaurant. Long with being an exceptional athlete on the basketball
floor, Powell is also an ordained minister. He is a Christian Speaker who has spoke
at such events as the Governor's Prayer Breakfast last year and recently at the
Rockford Christian Chapel. Tickets for the event this Thursday are $15 each. To
purchase tickets contact Tammie at 316-7257 or email her at
Tammief@johnsonpress.com.
There is still a number of limited edition Roger Powell autographed box scores available through the Lightning office. Please e-mail lightningpr@hotmail.com or reply to this e-mail for more information on how to obtain your copy today.
