The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the Raleigh Rockets have been added to its Mid-Atlantic Division as part of the league’s record-setting expansion for next season. “We are really excited to have Louis Baker V and his team as part of the ABA,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. “The wealth of great talent in North Carolina is huge and with the recent addition of two NC teams, we are adding two strong teams to the league.”

A high school basketball standout with offers from several major college programs, Louis took a different option and joined the US Army in honor of his late Grandfather. He then attended Faith in Action Bible College where he received his Masters of Theology. “The focus at this point in my life is to build opportunities and a family legacy,” added Baker. “I want to give people opportunities to do big things and also have something to leave my children when I am gone. I believe I can do that with the ABA and Raleigh Rockets.” For more information, visit www.raleighrockets.com or email [email protected]
