Former Wright State player signs with team in Melbourne, Australia
While at Wright State practice today waiting to do interviews, we ran into former WSU player Cory Cooperwood, who played for the Raiders for two seasons from 2008-10.
Cooperwood shared some news: He has signed to play with the professional team Sandringham Sabres from Melbourne, Australia, whose season will begin in March. A 6-foot-7 forward, Cooperwood said he would travel to Houston for a training camp with the team in February before the season that runs from March through September.
Cooperwood came to WSU from Wallace Community College in Alabama, which went undefeated during his season season there until the junior college national championship game, which it lost to a team it had defeated twice before.
“Kind of like the Patriots a couple years ago,” Cooperwood said with a laugh while shooting baskets in the WSU practice facility.
Cooperwood averaged 9.4 points and 5.4 rebounds as a junior before averaging 9.3 points and 6.1 rebounds as a senior. He said he played in Finland for a period last year before going on a tour with a team organized by Xenia-based Athletes-in-Action.
