If you never got to see him play when he was at Weber State and you live in the Great Falls area, check this cat out. I am surprised he isn't on an NBA roster.

'The Show' Arceneaux coming to Explorers
By GEORGE GEISE
Tribune Sports Editor

When the Great Falls Explorers take the floor tonight at Four Seasons Arena against the Indiana Alley Cats, they'll have a new scoring threat in the lineup.

Harold Arceneaux, a 6-6 wing player from Weber State, has been added to the roster, replacing 6-10 post player Mark Flavin, who averaged 2.8 points per game in a four-game stint with the CBA club.

Arceneaux played about a month with the Utah Eagles, who folded last week. He averaged more than 25 points per game in his last four games, and should give the Explorers (13-9) more firepower off the bench.

"We needed another perimeter player, and Harold will be a good complement to Jamar (Howard) on the wing," said coach Steve Aggers Monday. Arceneaux signed with Great Falls over the weekend and was slated to practice with the Explorers for the first time Monday night.
He likely will come off the bench at first, backing up the 6-5 Howard, one of the league's best defensive wings who averages 14.7 ppg.

"You look at the depth chart, we want to have two guys at each position. This gives us a good offense-defense combination at the wing," said Aggers.

Great Falls is in second place in the National Division behind the Yakama (Wash.) Sun Kings.

Indiana, coached by Carlos Knox, has a 15-10 record and trails the Albany (N.Y.) Patroons in the American Division.

Indiana averages 112.5 ppg and gets most of its scoring from the guard corps. Shaun Fountain, a 5-11 guard, leads the team at 23.5 ppg. Former NBA player Erick Barkley gets 18.8, and Carl Edwards and J.J. Sullinger each average close to 20 ppg.

Great Falls averages 105.1 ppg and has the best balance in the CBA, with eight players scoring between 11 and 17.5 ppg. Point guard Malik Moore leads the Explroers in scoring and assists.

The Explorers went 3-4 on their latest road trip, and haven't played here since Jan. 4. They are home four times this week — tonight and Wednesday against Indiana, followed by a Friday-Saturday series against the Pittsburgh Xplosion.

The Explorers also have two home games slated nextw eek, including a Feb. 7 date against an undetermined opponent. When Utah dropped out of the league, the CBA said the Eagles' dates would be filled by other clubs. Aggers expects to face either Yakama or Butte on that date.
 
I saw this in the Trib today and my immediate reaction was (1) now I have a reason to root for Arcenaux and (2) now I'm going to have to go check out an Explorers game.
 
Arcenaex played in the Wayne Estes tournament last year with a team from Utah. I wouldn't go watch him play if you paid me. The team he was on was the biggest bunch of pricks & they actually got booed in the snakepit because they were completely disrespectful to the fans of Anaconda. Ask anyone that played in the Estes last year & I'll bet they had the same experience. It was great to see his team get their asses kicked by JR Camels team in the championship.

another not so nice guy !!!! :thumb:
 
Not a great debut for The Show. Arceneaux had 7 points, 4 fouls and 4 turnovers in 13 minutes in his first game for Great Falls.
 
All that is fine but I still loved watching him school North Carolina! That dunk was something to remember and he single-handidly took that game over.
