Siroki returns for semi-pro

A veteran of the old semi-pro is back in Belize to take part in the new semi-pro. Kevin Siroki who played for the Belmopan Bandits in 1997 is now teaming up with the B.T.L. Nets for the 1999 basketball league. Siroki played high school and college basketball and coaches college basketball in his hometown. He says that basketball is his life and he is very happy to be back in Belize to play the sport he loves best.

“All these guys are great athletes down here but as far as fundamental wise we need to control the game a lot of up and down, but we control the game. It’s not like the NBA or anything like that. But it’s mostly fundamental wise and keeping the guys under control and having fun.

It was the first day of practice last night. I just came to town Friday and last night was the first night. We have a great group of guys. Great athletes as far as A.C. and Bovell; all these guys are great. I am just happy to just be working with them. I am not down here to be a superstar or anything like that. There are already too many superstars. I am just down here to have fun and work hard and win the league. As long as we work hard hopefully we will win the league.”

B.T.L. Nets will be playing Saturday Night against Kremandala Raiders.
