Dayton Jets




The Dayton Jets are a second year team in the International Basketball League (2005-) based in Dayton, Ohio . The team made the championship game.

In the team's first season, the Jets were coached by former OSU standout Mark Baker . Baker will return as coach for the 2006 season. Home games were played at Hara Arena , but at the end of the season, the league forced them to look for a smaller venue. The Jets settled on Colonel White High School. The Jets were undefeated at home.

None of the team's players made the league's top 25 in scoring. The Jets were led by Dubrey Black with 19.2 ppg. Black was an all-star, along with Brooks Hall, Carl Edwards, and Michael Brownlee. The Jets were 15-2, losing only to the Mahoning Valley Wildcats during the regular season. The Battle Creek Knights defeated the Jets 124-121.

The Jets will not be playing at Hara or Colonel White in 2006. The team will play their first two home games at Trotwood-Madison High School, and is looking for other area venues for their second season.

The team made additional news in 2006 when they became a non-profit organization.
