For the third time in seven days, a Midwest Professional Basketball Association player is leaving his team to play overseas.

This time, it's Gavin Schumann of the St. Louis RiverSharks, who will be going to Dakar, Senegal in West Africa.

"Gavin had a goal to play overseas," said RiverSharks head coach Ray Farrell.  "He worked hard in practice and he brought energy to the game.  His offensive skills and his defensive tenacity will be missed, but I wish him the best of success in Dakar."

Schumann was the team's second-leading scorer at 18.2 points per game.

The 6'2" guard from Southern Indiana University becomes the ninth player this season and 29th overall to advance from the MPBA.
