TEAM GETTING BETTER!!!

November 14th 2008

Although the Showboats are 3-0, they are going into Houston next weekend for the last preseason game before the beginnning of the regular season Dec 6th against the West Texas Whirlwinds. The game will be held in Houston and it will be a benefit for the Hurricane Ike Vitims. The Showboats hope to be 4-0 to begin their innagural season in the American Basketball Association. The showboats are looking fairly well coming into the next week of workouts getting ready for Houston on the 23rd. "I think we will be a fairly good team which has lots of talent but overall, we relly need to work on the defensive side of the ball. I know we can score. But we have to keep our opponent from scoring" said owner/head coach Benjamin Mireles. The Showboats are going to be a very competitive team this season and want to get to the playoffs. "I believe with the players we have here, we do have a chance to get to where we need to be. Being the rookie team in the league is going to be tough but it will be a great challenge for us and we look forward to working hard to bring a divisional championship to our city and then eventually the ABA Championship. That is our goal" said Mireles.
