Pre-Season games
Taylor and the team have headed across the Sea for some pre-season scrimmages. In the second game, played against Alcazar today, Melilla won 78-70 and Taylor had 20 points! The first two games were against LEB Silver Teams, one league below the LEB Gold. They'll play some LEB Gold teams this week which should be tougher competition.
Fun Fact: Alcazar is where former UVM teammate Martin Klimes played the past two years!

Spain Year Two- Complete!
Taylor Coppenrath, former standout basketball player at St Johnsbury Academy and UVM finished a very successful year in Alicante, Spain. On Sunday, 5/31/09, the Lucentum Alicante professional basketball team won the championship of the LEB Gold Division in Spain with a win over Melilla 72 - 66. The win moves the team into the ACB Division from where the Euroleague teams play. Taylor played 27 ½ minutes, scoring 10 points and shutting down the paint on defense to the Melilla low post players. Over the season Taylor averaged about 10.6 pts and 4.5 rebounds per game playing about 20 minutes per game.
After graduating from UVM in 2005 Taylor played on the NBA summer league teams for the Boston Celtics, AEK in Athens, Greece 2005 -06; NBA Indiana Pacers summer league 2006; Angelico Biella in Biella, Italy 2006 – 07, and Lucentum Alicante for the past two seasons. Alicante had specifically wanted Taylor to help them ascend to the ACB based on his past European experience. It turned out to be a good decision as Alicante is now in the ACB!
