Minnesota Ripknees Third in ABA Power Rankings

Minnesota Ripknees third In ABA power rankings after another successful road trip.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWeb) December 6, 2006 -- After another successful road trip, the Minnesota Ripknees (http://www.ripknees.com/) have increased their power ranking in the ABA (http://www.abalive.com/) from seventh to third with wins over the Peoria Kings and the Hammond Rollers.

The team, led by Coach McKenzie, is a dynamic group with great energy and a strong will to win. Owner Jack Jurewicz, who was recently re-diagnosed with cancer, has given the team something to strive for, far more than climbing the power rankings. "We want to do it for Jack," said Coach McKenzie after the Sunday game against the Hammond Rollers. "He is a great inspiration for this ball club."

The Ripknees will take on the Hammond Rollers at home on Thursday, December 7. Purchase Tickets Here (http://ripknees.frontgatetickets.com/ondate.php?t=1165471200) or go to: http://ripknees.frontgatetickets.com/ondate.php?t=1165471200.
