Catching up with Cellus & Zach Andrews



In the French Pro A Finals, Cholet will face LeMans beginning on June 13.
Cholet will have home court advantage, and one of Cholet's best players is Marcellus Sommerville who went for 12 pts and 10 rebounds in the final game of their semi-final series against Gravelines. Two other teammates of Cellus' are SIU's Randal Falker and DePaul's Sammy Mejia.

Here are Cellus' stats...

Here's a great story on Cellus (and a great picture) from a couple weeks ago...and a bit about how important he is to his team...

For those who don't want to translate here are a few quotes in English...
"Tuesday, Marcellus Sommerville, including a 4 / 6 at three points, was decisive.
(a difference-maker) The American will still try to guide Cholet to the semi-finals.
Marcellus, Tuesday you have made your best performance with Cholet (16 points, 15 rebounds). We think (of) your experience with Bradley at the NCAA Championships, with Chalon playoffs in 2007, or with Le Havre in 2008 playoffs ...

(Cellus responding in the interview)...
"I arrived here late (Editor's note: February 5). The team was already in place. So I had to have a different role than usual. Usually in a team, I started in the starting five and playing 30 minutes/ match. I was not surprised Tuesday to get good positions to shoot because I used to play (an outside game). ...they tried to contain (me) and would try not to let me shoot, but they may have lost their concentration....I think they respect me.

...You are then perhaps the key player in this quarter-final ...

(Cellus)... Here, I am a "role-player". I like it (and I fit with the chemistry)....
But of course the next season, I would like to find playing time of 30 minutes/ match with a major role."


Here's a bit about Randall Falker and a nice pic...(his hair is longer than ever!)

This Championship Title pays off for Zach and his teammates, as it allows the entire team to move UP into the Spanish LEB Gold League next season where salaries and payoffs are significantly better...
