Richard Guffens

Introduction

After my decision to participate in the Playerspool's showcase things went uphill. I was invited for the Final Showcase which led to eight offers throughout America and one in Beijing. After chosing Lees-McRae College and surviving pre-season, I can now look back at one of the best season's imaginable. Playing for the Div II National Championship, nationally televised live, was a great experience. Winning our Conference, winning our region, being ranked #1 in the nation for several weeks, myself being ranked #1 in assists in the nation for several weeks, it could not have gone any better. Personal achievements like All-Conference 2nd team, All Regional Tournament 1st team and All-Region 2nd team are symbol for the success of Lees-McRae Bobcats. This is why I came to the US, for nothing less. For the summer I am going to play semi-professional in the PDL league, the Mississippi Brilla who have one of the best rosters in all of PDL clubs and average almost 1,000 spectators a game.
