In order to do this, the team will host hopeful players at an open tryout Saturday at the Falcon Center on the Fairmont State campus.

The tryout, which begins at 5 p.m., is open to anyone between the ages of 18 to 35, with players off all basketball backgrounds welcome to attend.

“We have players come into the ABA that never played high school basketball but have played in rec leagues, AAU or summer leagues,” Washington said. “If you can play ball just come and bring your best game forth.”
