BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- In looking forward to the upcoming Flyer hoops season, one of the things that
“FTS” had planned to do was write a series of profiles on all of the new players. Because, quite obviously, the majority of the roster are guys The Flyer Faithful have never seen in Red and Blue. Well, I can scratch that off my “to do list” as UD Pride MB poster CJ#4 has tackled that task for us and he/she (don’t want to assume gender) is off to a flying start.
