Breaking News
6 Ft Over starting guard JR Russell will not play tonight in the season opener. In a move announced just hours before the start of the 2010 Spring Season the team has asked Russell to sit out the opener while the investigation into his eligibility continues.
"It's just too much of a distraction right now," said GM Jeff Reiners.
In another breaking news story it was discovered today that former 6 Ft Over swingman Richard "Dick" Dengler has decided to void his lifetime contract to join a U of I Fieldhouse team in Iowa City. Whether or not 6 Ft Over will release him from his contractual obligation has not been revealed. The team did not officially comment on Dengler other than to state that they were disappointed with young Richard's "direction".
With the team short handed for tonight's opener recruiting coordinator Aaron Shupert has been scrambling to find extra bodies. The Guatemalan Gunner Marco De Leon unfortunately is not available as a late sub. (For the record 6 Ft Over is 0-8 historically when The Gunner sees action).
You may remember last season Mike filled in admirably when the team was short handed. Mike has been signed on for another shot at glory tonight. Fans of 6 Ft Over should be happy to know that Mike's wife continues her courageous fight against cancer. Her ongoing battle has freed up Mike to participate in recreational basketball games and to pursue healthy women at local CR nightspots.
