delay in the arrival of the baskets and
aeatS have not been installed. Just
where these matches will be played has
not been announced.
Right now it appears that Central,

will fight it cut for the title. All have
shown a deal of strength in prc-series
games. though Tech has appeared in

has too light and inexperienced quint
to make a serious bid for the flag.

NAL competition.

pose the other twice.
