SEATTLE — The Seattle Superhawks are off to a 3-0 start for its inaugural season in The Basketball League (TBL),
TBL is a professional league often viewed as part of the ladder for NBA hopefuls to climb.
The Superhawks are owned by Seattle couple Jacqueline Yang and Pierre Crockrell Sr.
Tryouts for the team were held last fall and now the team is off to a 3-0 start for its first season. Superhawks home games will be played at Seattle Pacific University (SPU).
