But the Wings could still play the spoiler role in this game, except it seemed as if…
The 2013 Bandits season is likely one fans hope to forget soon. Marked with great turn-over in Steve Deitrich’s first year as GM, the team had much promise coming into the season. Names like Shawn Williams, Dhane Smith, Aaron Wilson, Mike Hominuck, Jamie Rooney, and Nick Cotter all joined an offensive unit that seriously lacked secondary scoring. The defense was a little more questionable, full of young players who would…
