Vermont Frost Heaves News Release
South Burlington, VT - With the seventh overall pick in the 2009 Premier Basketball League draft, the Vermont Frost Heaves selected Ken Ottrix, a 6'9" 220 lb. Forward/Center from Slippery Rock University.
Ottrix, a native of Seattle Washington, began his college career at Ohio University before transferring to Slippery Rock. He graduated from Slippery Rock in 2008 and last spring was a member of the Seattle Mountaineers of the IBL.
Ottrix attracted the attention of Coach Strohm at the Premier Basketball combine held in Washington D.C. last month. "Ken has great athletic ability and he impressed me immensely in D.C. with his athleticism and ability to run the court. He has great leaping ability and his basketball skills and personality will fit quite nicely with what we are creating in Vermont," stated Strohm.
Ottrix has signed a one-year contract and will report to Vermont in December. In the second round of the draft, the Frost Heaves selected Marcus Hall from Robert Morris College in Chicago.
Hall is a 6'5" guard and graduated from Robert Morris in 2009 and is a native of Buffalo, NY. The Frost Heaves have 10 days to sign Hall to a contract or he becomes a free agent and is eligible to sign with any other PBL team.
