KINGFISH TAKE TO THE ROAD
The
Kingfish posted a 0-3 record this past weekend marking the first time since the
opening week back in mid-October that no points were registered. Hopefully the
Fish can find success on the road as they have embarked on a five game swing
after collecting only one point in the last four home matches. The Kingfish
(57pts.) now sit in a tie for twelfth spot two points behind Greenville and
five points out of the the final playoff position. Six teams are logjammed at
62 points including the New Orleans Brass. The Fish have as many as four games
in hand on the teams ahead in the standings.
