Jared Carter, who played his college basketball at the University of Kentucky, was defensive player of the year in the Premier Basketball League (PBL) last year. He was also named to the second All-League team, and made the All-Defensive team.
Carter was signed to fill a roster spot left vacant when six-foot-10 centre Xavier Hansbro of Trezevant, Tenn., left the Storm over the weekend to return home for personal family reasons.
Storm head coach and vice-president of personnel Joe Salerno said he was disappointed to see Hansbro head home, but understood perfectly why he had to leave.

No, you are not sorry Jimmy. If you were, you would lighten up or at least offer some suggestions, rather than bold and rude insults about the community many of us are proud of. You are entitled to your opinion. But please keep rude insults to yourself. PS. This conversation amongst 2 or maybe 3 people proves how pointless and innacurate these pathetic comment sections are. Obviously they are not reflective of 15,000 residents! Journal, please give this some thought. Don't let 3 complainers damage our community's reputation. Thank you.
