Blue Ducks release 2005 schedule
Team to play 15 home games beginning in June
Melbourne , FL – The excitement's been building a long time in the Blue Ducks organization. A season almost dashed by last fall's hurricanes is about to take place.
“We've got all our players excited about the season. They're chomping at the bit, ready to begin playing,” remarked team owner, Mike Richman . “We've got a lot of new local players. They can't wait to get out there and play in front of their home crowd. Nate's (Archibald) excited, I'm excited, the players and the rest of the coaching staff are excited. We can't wait to get out there.”
That will come soon enough – 23 days in fact. The Brevard Blue Ducks will begin their 4 th season Friday, June 10 th against FastBreak USA , a pro team from central Florida . The season will feature games against teams from cities who haven't visited Brevard before – from Virginia to Texas to as far away as Utah . It will also feature something unique – a basketball “double-header” on Sunday, July 3 rd against the Dallas Diesel. Fans will get to see two games for the price of one admission.
“It'll be great to see some new teams from other parts of the country come here to Brevard to play,” added Richman. “It's a little scary because we've never played these teams before and haven't had the chance to scout them. So we're going to have to make some fast adjustments during the games when we see what they're doing on the court.”
One of those teams – the West Virginia Wild concerns Richman a bit. They boast former Florida Gator – and former Blue Duck – Brett Nelson on their team.
“I'm sure Brett's going to want to come in here and hang fifty on us,” quipped Richman.
Following, is the 2005 Brevard Blue Ducks home schedule:
