MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com -Monroe, WA - May 28th 2009 - The Snohomish County Explosion make a big
mid-season pickup today with former Arkansas State University center Ike
Ohanson coming over from Seattle to join coach Weakley. Ohanson will be
wearing #42 this weekend against the Vancouver Titans and brings a missing
piece to the Explosion puzzle, a true big man that can play at the IBL
level. With a IBL leading scorer Devon Greene and star power forward Richard
Ford, Ike will make sure teams that double up on Greene on the outside pay
inside.
Ike averaged 31 points last year in the IBL All Star Game in 2008 (North vs.
South) and has played three years in the IBL and is currently ranked
fifteenth in the league for rebounds. Ike averaged 14.3 points per game last
year with the Tacoma Jazz to go along with his 8.4 rebounds per game. In the
previously two years Ike has been a double-double player in points and
rebounds. Look for Ike to immediately be put into the starting line-up for
this Saturday's game.
Strange as it may be Ohanson and the owner Nathan Mumm both
Ivory Coast - Africa at the same time. Mumm was located in Abidjan during
his early childhood the same time Ike was born in 1980.
The Explosion are currently 5-6 on the season and look forward to redeeming
themselves at home. The young talented team has nine games left in the
season with seven of them at home. The Explosion look to the Monroe Sports
Arena and the home town fans to return on May 30th against the Vancouver
Titans.
