Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University Signs Paraguay National Basketball Player

 

Jackson, Tenn.- Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University men's basketball coach Ralph Turner announced this week the addition of Bruno Martinessi to the Bulldogs roster for the 2001-2002 season. The 6-foot-6, 200-pound guard averaged 18 points and nine rebounds per game in high school.

According to Turner, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's coaching staff was eager to sign Martinessi because of his above average size and ability. "We are very excited to sign a freshman with Bruno's ability," said Turner. "His versatility allows him to play anywhere from point guard to the post."

Martinessi joins Gibson County native Michael Palmer as Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's newest recruits for next season's Bulldog squad.
