Sanders selected as ABA All-Star

January 10, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Orleans, Massachusetts: Rob Sanders, the high flying forward from the Cape Cod Frenzy, has been selected by the league as a 2007 ABA All Star. ABA All Star Weekend is scheduled for January 26-28 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The festivities will take place at the Halifax Metro Centre beginning on Saturday, with the game itself tipping off on Sunday at 2:00 pm.

Sanders, who is from New London, Connecticut, goes 6'7 242 lbs and possesses a 40" vertical leap. He is an electrifying player who can post up, handle the ball, and shoot. He is a high flier who goes over the tree tops for amazing slams and blocked shots. Through the first ten games of the season, Sanders averaged 21.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game for the Frenzy.

Rob Sanders played college basketball at Providence College in the Big East, where he teamed up with Boston Celtics forward Ryan Gomes to help spark the Friars into the 2004 NCAA tournament. The duo also helped Providence defeat eventual NCAA champ Connecticut twice in one year - teams that featured future NBA players Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor, Charlie Villanueva, Hilton Armstrong, and Josh Boone.

"We are proud to have one of our players represent the Cape Cod Frenzy in the 2007 ABA All Star Game. The job of selecting 26 players out of 47 ABA teams was not an easy one, and I'm sure there are many more deserving players in the ABA. Richmond Pittman Jr., on our team, is one such player who is also producing All Star caliber numbers. But our players support Rob and look forward to seeing his contribution to the All Star game," stated Frenzy Head Coach Keith Clarke.

To see the Frenzy's new All Star selection in action, come out Sunday at 6:05 PM to see the Frenzy battle the Newark Express at Bourne Middle School. We encourage all the fans to come out again and support your Cape Cod Frenzy as we look to get back on the winning track. All children 13 and under are FREE for this special game so spread the word! Tickets are available at the door or online. For more information, please contact Frenzy GM Ian McCarthy at ian@capecodfrenzy.com or visit www.capecodfrenzy.com or www.abalive.com.
