Previewing Tomorrow’s Matchup
Your Raleigh Firebirds are back in action tomorrow! At 11 AM, we’ll take on the Savannah Buccaneers in a rematch of Sunday’s road loss. We’re 1-1 on the season series with Savannah, and looking to take a decisive series lead. However, the Bucs are hot, and after losing their first two games of the season, they’ve won their last three.
Note: instead of St. Augustine’s, the game will be played at Wake Tech’s North Campus Building (7821 Values Dr)

Player Spotlight: Julian Gamble
Today, I’ll be starting a new series where I spotlight players on the Firebirds roster. Today, I’ll be shouting out Julian Gamble, the 6’10” starting center for the Firebirds. Gamble is Raleigh-born and bred, having played for Garner Road (AAU), Southern Durham High School, and the University of Miami. After his school days ended, Gamble spent several years playing overseas in countries such as China, France, Israel, Mexico, and others.
I have an in-depth feature on him coming out later this morning, so make sure to check out our website (raleighfirebirds.net/blog) for the full story! You’ll be able to catch Gamble and the rest of the Firebirds in action this Thursday.
Make sure to stay tuned for Friday’s edition, where I’ll recap our Thursday game!
Until then,
