South Texas Showboats Have New Website And New Players
November 18, 2008 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Texas Fuel News Release
San Antonio, TX. The ABA South Texas Showboats are happy to announce that the new website is up, www.saproball.com. "It has taken awhile, but we got it done," stated CEO/coach Ben Mireles. "And now that our schedule is complete, the roster is about done, and the sponsors set, we can move forward and be ready for a great season of basketball."
The Showboats original website will be deleted soon. So they ask you that you refer to the new website. "James has done a tremendous job with our site, got it up and running quickly. We still have some information and photos to add to the site, but overall it looks fantastic and is getting better everyday," added Mireles.
The Showboats have also announced the additions of 6'7 Keith Simpson and 6'8 Albert Strickland to the team. "These guys are going to bring in strength and quickness to the 3, 4 and 5 positions," stated Mireles. "With these additions, we believe our guards will have more time to do what they do best. It gives us versatility at all positions and these players can play several positions, not just the 1 or 2. The players are here to win and the Showboats are going into this season underrated. It is good for us to go into the season not being seen. We would rather just play the game and enjoy the time out on the court against other teams. Our goal is to be successful on and off the court but most of all we have to make it a fun and entertaining season for families. Without the fans, families, children and sponsors - and of course, a good group of players, you have nothing. We have to make it where basketball fans want to come and watch our team play."

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
