Following the Ballers heartbreaking loss in game three of the III.6 finals to Launcestion Lions in OT
(52592602) 113-109, GM Tom Parkin decided his team needed to get in shape for season 22, sending them on a fitness camp all summer to work on their athleticism, Parkin stated 'the guys just can't compete in the final minutes, we will be working on their stamina for most of the season'.
Heading into season 22, hopes are high for the baller, starting their 4th season in this division, fans are hoping this time will be theirs and they can gain that ever elusive promotion to division 2, led by 3 time MVP Feeney Lee
(13411594) who claimed 'this season will be dominated by the Ballers, i'm starting my 10th season here and this is OUR TIME', strong words from the captain for sure. Lee comes into this season off the back of another strong season averaging 24.8 points 8.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists shooting 55% from the field, landing him runner up in MVP voting behind teammate Paul Wriechen
(19110074) who dazzled players and pundits alike with a strong first full season for the Ballers, averaging a career high 19.8 rebounds and 18.1 points, we caught up with him at camp...'Last season's lost hurt deep, and we are bonding more as a team this season, its the same guys coming back and we are ready to take the championship we deserve this season'. Overall it seems like it will be a strong season for the ballers, definitely one to watch.
