South Texas Showboats Schedule Weekend Exhibition Game
October 16, 2008 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Texas Fuel News Release
San Antonio, TX. The ABA South Texas Showboats have scheduled an exhibition game against the San Angelo Chaparrals (TPBL). The game will be played at Antioch Sports Complex this Sunday, October 19th. The game will start at 5:45pm and doors will open at 5pm. The Showboats had an outstanding game against the Air Force this past week.
The team prevailed in that game 116-66 with the constant pressure from the defense although the Air Force maintained the lead on rebounds, 78-53. The Showboats are playing without any BIGS in the middle - so speed, defense, aggressiveness, consistency and team work are all a factor. Right now, the Showboats are looking into bringing one or two more players into their camp before the season starts in December.
"We have a pretty solid list of players who have played together before," said owner/head coach Benjamin Mireles (former Robert E. Lee player/alumni). "To add some size in the middle would really help and so that is what we are looking at. We have to find a way to keep other teams off the boards and stop them from scoring."
There are seven strong players from San Antonio high schools who have signed a one year deal with the team including players from Fox Tech, John Jay, Madison and Judson). It will be a very local team. The LAST TRYOUT has been moved to Sunday, November 2nd, originally set for Saturday, November 1st at South San Antonio High School in San Antonio from 12-4pm.
