Latin America - (Brazil) Untimely Injury Sidelines Tony Stockman. (Mexico) Guinda Nogales Searches for Consistency

(Tony Stockman)

(Brazil)

Brazilian club Vivo/Franca suffered a big blow when former Buckeye Tony Stockman broke his hand in practice on April 7th. The 2010 Brazilian League All-Star's setback occurred right before a pre-playoff tournament in Argentina. With Stockman out (4/5 weeks), Franca will now look to advance in their opening round of play in hopes of getting Tony back for the semi-finals. Stockman was recently named as Import Player of the Year by Latinbasket.com & Blog Cesta Certa. In addition to these honors, Tony Stockman will also be inducted into the Medina County Sports Hall of Fame in June 2010. Congrats and good luck with the recovery!

(Mexico)

Fuerza Guinda Nogales got off to a nice 7-3 l start, but injury attrition prevented the club from staying on top of the CIBACOPA. They lost former Big Ten Champion JJ Sullinger & Joesph Tyrozic to injuries in late March. JJ returned about a week into April, and Tyrozic was replaced with Blake Walker. But Nogales has yet to capture some of the early season consistency they possessed. They are currently 4th in Cibacopa standings with a 10-8 record. Their last game was a narrow 72-70 defeat at the hands Mazatlan (Sullinger 13 points, 8 boards) #0 has already scored over 35 points twice!
