Yamhill Highflyers Release 2010 IBL Schedule

MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com -Portland, Oregon—the International Basketball League announces the 2010 IBL schedule for the Yamhill
Highflyers. The Highflyers will play their home games in Yamhill County particularly with games in Newberg
and McMinnville (official venues to be announced). The schedule was released to the owner a few weeks ago and
released publicly today—six months in advance of the team’s first home game.
About the team last year/2009: in 2009, the team was in a ‘coming soon’ mode that the IBL uses to get teams
ready for a full entry; in that year, the Yamhill Highflyers played 2 home games and 8 away games. The star of
the team was supposed to be Chris Hunt—and he ended up truly being that star player. Hunt averaged 14.6 points
per game and 8.4 rebounds/per game in 26 IBL games overall (he played for the Hotshots of Central Oregon when
not involved in the Highflyers season) but more impressive were the huge numbers he put up while with the
Highflyers; it is expected that Chris Hunt will return as the team’s captain in 2010.
About the team this year/2010: the Highflyers will be a full 22game
team so they will be a better team—more
competitive as the overseas players who comprise most teams in the International Basketball League typically
want to play for a full season (full season of stats—20 to 22 games, full season of workouts, etc.). Eric Bailey has
been working hard in the offseason
on workout facilities and trainers in an effort to draw the typical development
player—a player needing 20 games and focused workoutsto
get their basketball career to a better place.
About the 2010 schedule: the Yamhill team will play an intriguing schedule, playing teams from four countries.
The team ends with its final five home games against teams from Washington, China, Japan, Michigan, New York
and California including a season ending matchup
with the 2009 IBL Champions Los Angeles Lightning—a
team that featured 6 exNBA
players in 2009. The Yamhill Highflyers are poised for an exciting 2010 season—
IBL Commissioner Mikal Duilio “the Highflyers have a wonderful schedule that should really get the Yamhill
community excited about International Basketball; anyone wanting to help Eric Bailey’s efforts should call—this
is a community team and the team welcomes community support”.
