The 1-5 Mahoning Valley Thunder know things will get better sooner or later.  Unfortunately, sooner might not be until next week as The Wilkes-Barre Pioneers (5-1) come rolling into The Covelli Centre this Friday.  The game is on a Friday to accomodate WWE Wrestling at the center on Saturday.  Maybe new coach Brennan Booth can talk the WWE’s Big Show into playing defense for his AF2 team.

Mahoning Valley is winless in this lifetime against Wilkes-Barre in six tries.  Brennan Booth is winless as a head coach at 0-1.  It would be a great victory to change both of those facts if The Thunder were able to find a way to win this game.  Blake Powers and Quorey Payne are the best shot if The Thunder might be able to pull the upset.

The two teams met on April 18 in Wilkes-Barre with The Pioneers posting an 80-43 victory over The Thunder. 

Kickoff is set for 7:05, see you there!
