Unofficial Mad Ants Blog - "It's Not Personal; It's Business"

Corey Allmond

Wow. I never thought basketball could be this emotional. You watch these guys play for five months and you tend to get attached to them. I honestly do not know how the players, coaches and owners do it.

The new year has brought a new team for the Mad Ants. Over the weekend, shooting guard, Corey Allmond was released to make room for Gilbert Brown. We have also acquired Darington Hobson.

I honestly thought once Walker Russell, Jr., Ron Howard and Darnell Lazare returned from NBA training camp, we would have this in the bag. But, even with the vets returning we have lost the last four games.

Like I have said in my previous posts, I do not claim to be an expert in basketball. So, I have to trust that the coaches and owners thought it was best for the team to release Corey Allmond. I just see a kid who really stepped it up and really shined the last couple of months.

Looking forward to watching a new team in the new year.
