Midway through their first preseason training camp under the capable guidance of veteran bench boss Bob Hill, the Tokyo Apache are making solid progress in suburban Dallas.
Reached by phone on Monday evening (Texas time) after the team's fourth straight day of two-a-day workouts, Apache general manager Conor Neu had this to say: "It's been very good. The guys are all working very hard."
The new-look Apache, who went 22-30 last season and earned the fourth and final playoff spot in the bj-league's Eastern Conference, are currently training at the Integrated Athletic Development complex in Carrollton, Texas, before returning to Tokyo this weekend.
