My 1st Euroleague Game

We played in our first Euroleague game on October 21 against Asseco Prokom (Poland). We won by 6 with a score of 87-81. This was HUGE because this was our Euroleague debut. I had 20 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. It was a GREAT night.


Later in the week we played two German teams. We won both games. I had 14 points against Dusseldorf, and 23 points against Bremenhaven. We're off to a great start this season.

Euroleague

HERE'S WHAT THE EUROLEAGUE HAD TO SAY ABOUT ME....


EWE Baskets Oldenburg extends Je'Kel Foster

Euroleague debutant EWE Baskets Oldenburg kept another key piece of its squad from last season by re-signing guard Je'Kel Foster. Oldenburg now has seven of the eight players that saw action in the last game of the German League finals under contract. Foster (191, 25) scored the most important point of the deciding game, sinking the game-winning free throw with 4 seconds remaining to lift Oldenburg to its first championship ever and into the Euroleague. Foster averaged 12.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in the German League last season and bumped those numbers to 15.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in the finals.

He arrived to Oldenburg after a season in France with Paris Levallois and began his European career at EnBW Ludwigsburg in Germany in the 2006-07 season. Foster first made a name for himself at Ohio State University, where he was among the best three-point shooters in college basketball and was named to the Big 10 All-Defensive Team after his senior season

The Euroleague is the highest level of European basketball. I'm honored to be able to play at this level after just playing 3 professional seasons. I'm excited for all the challenges and victories yet to come

Four Games In

We've played 4 games so far. We played in the Champions Cup against Bonn (the team we beat in the Championship last season). This game doesn't count towards our record, but we WON!

We've also played Bamberg, Frankfurt, and Berlin. We've won every game except against Berlin. These were all top teams in the German League last year. Our record is now 2-1. I'll be headed to Poland tomorrow to play in our first Euroleague game.

Another Side of Basketball

Family is one of the most important things to me. I recently added to my family when I married the love of my life on June 27, 2009. My wife, Ayra, and I met at Ohio State in during my senior year. She is by my side 100%. Marriage and family is an aspect of every career/profession. My marriage is one of the brighter sides of my career. Ayra will also contribute to this blog to keep everyone updated on our endeavors.
