The Newport Surf are playing extremely well together. They are the team to beat this year at the WCBL. Their top scorers Joe Udeoji and Justin Johnson seems to be unstoppable. I wa lucky to watch some of their game this year, and have to say that their coach has done a great job in recruiting Joe. I'm sure having an NBA vet (Tony Farmer) has added to their overall success as well. Joe can play both the guard and forward position offensively and defensively with no problem.
