Surf Split Weekend Homestand
Published on December 13, 2011 under American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Major improvement is the most highly eminent observation basketball fans made of their home town San Diego Surf December 10 and 11 at Hourglass Arena. The surging Surf (2-7) split two home games with a couple of hard nosed, fast paced, and experienced teams - making a statement that they are here to play in the SoCal Division.
Saturday night was perhaps the Surf's biggest statement of the year taking down the 3-3 Central Valley Titans 120-106. The Surf never trailed in the entire game and saw 6 players contribute big with double figures. Dunnell Webb and Nate Reed led the way, scoring 22 and 20 points respectively.
"The development of this team may take a long time because we're so young - but every game we need to learn from," Said Surf Head Coach Shaun Manning. "This game we were able to disrupt (the Titans) and take them out of what they do well."
The high spirits showed on Sunday as well when the #1 ranked team in the entire ABA came to town, The Los Angeles Slam. The Surf stayed close all game with the Slam, even leading at halftime and outscoring the Slam 47-38 in the 4th period, however it wasn't enough as the Slam prevailed 132-119.
"The Slam have a lot of experience on us...as long as we keep attacking - whoever we play - we'll get better," Added Manning.
Be sure to catch the young improving Surf at 8:30pm on December 17th at home versus the Riverside Rainmakers. Check www.sdsurfhoops.com for tickets and be sure to also check out the exciting new "Surfettes" dance team!
