Game 26 Preview - Vipers @ Vees

Tonight will mark the third time these two division rivals have met and if the previous meetings have been any indication of how it will play out, this will be a fantastic game.  Both games have been close, and if you look at the standings it wouldn't be a surprise to see these two teams put it all out there to get the two points.

The Interior division has been a lot like Snakes and Ladders game.  Teams go up and teams go down.  With the Vees having 3 games in hand on the Vipers so its absolutely imperative the Snakes give them their all.  Tonights broadcast will be on 107.5 KissFM starting at 6:45.
