Snohomish County Explosion News Release


MONROE, Wash. - May 3, 2008 - The Snohomish County Explosion Basketball team signs Alex Adediran a consistent scorer, who recently improved his offensive skills to his great defensive hustle. Alex earned "Mr. Offense" honors for the ANBL Georgia Gwizzlies team. As a rebounder, he is a beast on the weak side rebound. "Alex is a great addition and in a few weeks we are sure he will be full integrated into the offense. We have an inside presence that can score and the best part is Alex is a great locker room presence."

Coach Redwine has worked with Adediran before in 2006 when he coached for the Seattle IBL team. Alex was named an IBL All Star in 2006, and was averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds per game with Tacoma this season. He will look to get some minutes tonight against the second place SLAM of Bellingham in a great Northwest rivalry.
