Welcome to Worthing Thunder Basketball Club
25 Aug 08 - Bargeman sails into Worthing
Worthing Thunder Basketball Club are pleased to announce the addition of their third and final American player for the upcoming season with the arrival of 6'5" guard/forward Colby Bargeman.
Bargeman played four years for NCAA I team Northwestern State University, averaging 11 points and 6 rebounds per game in his senior year, placing him second in the team in both categories.
Thunder's Alan Sweetman-Hicks is looking forward to seeing Bargeman in Thunder colours: "Colby is an exciting prospect, coming to us straight from College. There is a lot of experience in the team this year, so we felt it was right to give a chance to someone starting out in the professional game. From what we have seen of Colby he is someone we think our fans will respond to and is the kind of player that we think will thrive in the BBL."
Want to join the Thundercats?
Auditions are being held on Thursday 28th August at 7.30pm at Angmering School for dancers for the Thundercats troupe.
Anyone interested is asked to please contact helen@worthing-thunder.org.uk or telephone 01903 261261
13 Aug 08 - Patton to be Thunder's General
Worthing Thunder’s team building plans ahead of their first season in the BBL took another step towards completion today with the announcement that Ryan Patton will lead the team from the point guard position. The 6’0” guard from Ohio was EBL Division 1 MVP with Sheffield Arrows in 2004/5 where he averaged 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists a game, hitting 42% of his three point attempts. A serious car accident curtailed his career, but now fully fit again, he will join Thunder having just finished a spell in Qatar where he averaged 15 points and 6 assists per game.
09 Aug 08 - Dan's the man for Thunder
Worthing Thunder is pleased to announce their 7th signing of this busy summer ahead of their first season in the British Basketball League (BBL).
6’3” Guard Dan Wardrope has agreed to join Thunder from local rivals Guildford Heat and brings his recent BBL experience to the squad.
The Scotland International was the leading scorer in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, averaging 20 points per game, and has played in the BBL for the Scottish Rocks as well as the Heat. Consistently averaging 35% from three point range, Dan will be a useful addition to Thunder’s back court.
02 Aug 08 - Thunder announce pre-season tournament
Worthing Thunder Basketball Club is pleased to announce their first ever international tournament, with news that the "Thunder Cup" will be played at the Worthing Leisure Centre on Saturday 13th September.

The action will start at 2pm and continues throughout the day with two semi finals, a 3/4th play-off and the final due to tip off at 8pm. Tickets for all or part of the day are priced at £3.

4 July 08 - Thunder resign another familiar face!
Popular forward Jonathan Woods has put pen to paper on a contract for the 2008/9 season, and the club are now awaiting a work permit for the 6’8” forward from Fresno State who averaged 17 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in Thunder’s successful 2005/6 campaign.
Director of Coaching Gary Smith is looking forward to being reunited with ones of the stars of Thunder’s first title win: “Jonathan was one of the first names I put down as soon as I heard we were going to be in the BBL. He is quick, and gives me options at the forward spots. I’m looking forward to seeing him link up with Janis (Ivanovskis), as although they both played at power forward for me in the past, Jonathan can certainly play small forward too. Defensively, he gives me cover at four positions from shooting guard to centre if required, as he did on a number of occasions when he was here before.”
