Spokebenders Take 3rd Place in the Bronx!

The Spokebenders traveled to the annual Matthew Sapolin Memorial Wheelchair Basketball Tournament this past weekend to face off against some of the top teams in the North East region.

After finishing Saturday with 2 wins and 1 loss the Spokebenders had advanced to the quarter final game on Sunday morning. Scheduled to play the Western NY Wheels, the Spokebenders got an automatic win since the Wheels never showed up and forfeited the game. Once in the semifinal game, the Spokebenders lost a tough game to the Celtics to finish 3rd.




A big congratulations goes out to Linas Pagano on winning the All Tournament Team Award!

A big thank you goes out to Tatiana Rodriguez for taking time out of her busy schedule to photograph our games this weekend. Please like her page on Facebook, Lifeshots Photography, and be on the lookout for her photos from the weekend!

Let's Roll Campaign

If you have been affiliated with the team at some point in time, then you know first hand that the Spokebenders are more than just a basketball team. We're a family that helps each other out on and off the court. In order to continue doing what we do best, the "Let's Roll" campaign was launched to help offset some our expenses for next season. As of now we have about ten days to sell as many shirts as possible through the Teespring website. There are three different designs to choose from and you won't be charged anything unless the goal is met.

So please go and reserve a shirt today and then share the info with all of your friends. If you need a better picture of what the team is all about then please watch the following mini documentary on the team.
