Konchalski: Central African Republic

Central African Republic: Guy Mbongo remains in hiding in his home country, the Central African Republic, after having his life threatened and all his possessions stolen during a rebel uprising earlier this year, according to CTV. Konchalski has coached hundreds of basketball players in his 39-year career at St. FX but he holds special regard for three players from the Central African Republic, especially Mbongo and Efforts are growing across the country to help bring a former St. Francis Xavier basketball star to safety after an incident in his African nation. Basically he told me they put a gun to his head and told him that he was going to die, says St. FX basketball coach Steve Konchalski. They did spare him but they took all his belongings.
