The Cat is

Plymouth Raiders are delighted to announce that DeAntoine
Beasley has signed for a sixth consecutive season with the
2007 BBL Trophy champions.
There has been some interest in Beasley from other teams, and he was
also wanted for a coaching position at University level in the USA,
but the draw of returning to the Raiders was just too much to turn
down.
Head
Coach Gary Stronach was clearly delighted to have
signed Beasley, one of the team’s co-captains from last year.
"I’m
delighted that Cats back for his sixth season. He’s been an
outstanding player for Raiders over the years, so he was one of
my main priorities to re-sign. I'm just looking for continual
improvement from him and the team as a whole."
Beasley's statistics from last year clearly underline just
how important he is to the team. DeAntoine was second on the
team in steals (1.74 per game), first for (and sixth in the league)
for assists (4.35 per
game)
and first (and third in the league) for blocked shots (1.03 per
game). He also averaged a very respectable 14.68 points per
game, in a very well balanced attack across the team.
Beasley himself was proud to be returning to Raiders for the
07/08 season, and is looking forward to challenging for more honors
with the team this year.
Beasley is
the first player from last year’s team to re-sign for next season,
but the club hopes to announce several other signings in the next
few weeks.
In the next week, the club will also release
season ticket information for the 07/08 season and fans are
encouraged to get their tickets early.
