FROM COMMISSIONER SCOTT ELLIS, 2ND AMER. BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Tom’s come home
It’s my extreme pleasure to announce the return of our founder and original commissioner, Tom Gantert, to the SABL. Tom’s returning as a coach only, however, to take over the team with perhaps the most potential in the league, Dan Ayala’s club.
Tom’s address is 426 Franklyn St., Lansing, MI 48917. Phone: 517-327-6496. I hope everybody gives Tom a call to welcome him back. This is a happy day for all of us.

Amazing playoffs!
After Steve Feldheim stunned Steve Walters by beating him twice at Walters’ home area, Walters did Feldheim one better by beating Feldheim an incredible three straight games at Feldheim’s home court! WOW!
Now the series is back at Walters’ home court for the final two games and who knows will go on to face me in the championship series!
It just goes to show you that you never know what is going to happen in the playoffs.
Penalty points
Robinson – 10, Rogers – 7, Ellis – 2, Rowley – 5, Walters – 1, D. Dillingham – 1, M. Feeney – 3
Tentative draft order
Except for spots 16 through 19, our 1997 draft order is set. I’ve tried to match each pick with its current owner, but let me know if I’ve screwed up:
Other stuff: Walters owns C. Dillingham’s 2nd pick and M. Feeney’s 2nd.
K. Feeney owns Walters’ 1st and 2nd and Robinson’s 3rd.
C. Dillingham owns Ellis’ 2nd.
M. Feeney owns Ellis’ 1st.
