CJP adds Michael Schetzehl

Standing at six foot, six inches tall and weighing in at two-hundred and twenty pounds Michael Schetzehl is quite the mystery to team Curtis J. Phillips. However he isn't a mystery to CJP guard Ariel Ludwig. For the two of them have been teammates in the past and it was on Ari's behalf that late Monday night that team CJP added Schetzehl to the squad. "I've played five seasons of city league basketball with Michael. He is very team oriented. His game extends to eighteen feet. He blocks a lot of shots. He hustles and doesn't take bad shots. I think he will fit in just fine with Curtis J. Phillips Basketball", said Ludwig. Schetzehl will be wearing the number nine jersey and will be taking the roster spot the opened up due to the temporary departure of Cody Isbell.

Isbell takes temporary hiatus from team CJP.

CJP forward Cody Isbell has informed team management that due to scheduling conflicts that he will be sitting out the 2012 Summer season but will be looking to rejoin the team once again in the Fall. "In just one season of play Cody has become a key member of our team and we hope to have him back in uniform come October.", said CJP general manager and player Daniel Sondreal.
