The Mailmen started off the regular season on the winning side of the equation defeating Team Eric 69-39.
Brandon Hunter led all scorers with 22 points while Brent Hunter added 16 (9 rebounds) and new comer Mike Giardina added 10 (5 rebounds) in the 30 point victory.
"This is how you want the season to start," Coach Jason Hunter (6 points) said afterward. "To come out and get a win like this, with some new faces, it really gets you excited to play week in and week out."
The Mailmen will be shuffling their lineup again next week and will have a different starting 5 for the third straight game. Jason Hunter will be off on a honeymoon as he was married this past weekend and Brent Hunter is being sent back down to the developmental league. To replace those two, the team has again dug back into its past bank, adding guard Clinton Weigel with a 10-day contract. Weigel averaged 4.5 points last year while shooting 53% from the floor. He will be another slasher and strong defender that will take up most of the minutes lost by the two Hunter brothers.
The Mailmen will face Firehouse, who lost their first preseason game 79-38. The score from their first regular season game was not available before this entry. The Mailmen were supposed to play Firehouse last season, but then, as the Reignmakers, won by forfeit on two seperate occasions.
