  1. Penticton Vees verus Vernon. What a challenge. I feel we can win this series. Penticton and there mindset is arrogrant and boastful. They as a team think they are godlike with Fred H. behind the scenes. But, time and time again other teams who have beaten Penticton have put Pentictons ego and Freds aside and just played there game as they know it and worked hard,playing there game and not worrying about how great thou art,penticton. With that attitude Penticton has been beaten year after year after year. So Vernon you have a great attitude and spirit as to team play and belief in each other. Believe. and great things will happen.

  2. For once I agree with Bingo....lol! Would love to see the Vipers beat the arrogant Vees! The boys showed what they are capable of when they work hard as they did in the Wenatchee series! Looking for good things!
