Fiedler Still Has Hoop Dreams

Former NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler and his business partner Demetrius Ford were in town again this week to discuss the impending move of a Continental Basketball Association team to Pikeville.

While no formal announcement was made, the Web site for Trinity Sports & Entertainment Group, Inc. (www.triseg.com) listed the East Kentucky Miners as one of two teams owned by the company.

Information on the site says the Miners were formerly the Florida Pit Bulls (of the American Basketball Association) during the 2005-2006 season. Trinity says the Pit Bulls did not compete during the ‘06-07 season “due to the decision to move the team to Pikeville, Kentucky to play in the upcoming 2007-2008 season.”
