Eclipse venture into Moles Stadium for championship rematch
Last season it was quite a different story as both teams were well above .500 at the halfway point in the season. Currently both teams are still struggling to find their stride with the Moles at 9-8 and the Eclipse sitting at 7-11.
Kent Noll has hit a mid-season slump after a very fast start, so the Moles will be relying more on Hiram Atkins to take the load, while they have also been tinkering with the center position, as Virgil Fowle has been more consistent than his counterpart Edward Furbee.
For the Eclipse, Judson Ibarra has been struggling all season and found his way to the bench last game in favor of Carlton Poling who is having a solid season. Miquel Windish finally made his starting debut putting up a double-double with 16 points and 15 boards. Stan Villano backed him up after a string of bad performances.
If the Moles are able to pull this one out, it will be because of the perimeter game. If the Eclipse take it, it will be because they kept their turnovers low.

New Look Moles
The Moles open up the 3rd season in League II with a fresh new look in time for the regular season debut against the Wolves. 3rd season head coach, Tha Kingpin has the team looking good on the hunt for their 3rd straight playof appearance.
The team made a few key moves this offseason, but the biggest would be bringing in Kent Noll, the first player ever taken in the League II draft, who is coming off of a somewhat dissappointing season for the Jacks, but will figure to be the focal point for the Moles. The Moles sent Joe Gilliland and Moses Boisvert to the Jacks in return.
Former All-Star Edwin Schenk was also let go to the Broncos in favor of Edward Furbee, who came at half the cost of Schenk. Furbee signed a 1 season contract for nearly $7 mill.
Major Free Agents aquired include Virgil Fowle and Brendan Spain who both figure to play major supporting roles.

Ice Monkeys: Don't Sleep On 'Em
Nobody. Absolutely nobody gave the Ice Monkeys a chance at even making the playoffs once they traded away Adolfo Hebert and Judson Ibarra to the Jacks, and then Hugh Looney and Guillermo Fishburn to the Slash... for draft picks.
In steps Virgil Fowle, the 206th pick in the initial draft of League I. He played 29 games for the team leading them on a 7-3 run to close the season and head into the playoffs at 19-15. Fowle led all centers with 23.4ppg while grabbing 7.3 boards on his way to a Team MVP award, All-Star selection and All-League selection.
He was rewarded with a $5,526,500 contract for this season... up from $567,000 his rookie season to become the highest paid player in the league.
This season, he looks to lead the team back to the playoffs and perhaps even contend for a championship as they have two first round draft picks this season and two next season, putting them in a pretty good situation to be contenders for the forseeable future.
