All: I don't think that next game is important to us. Win or lose, we can't pick any team in playoff. ND40 can. Look the schedule, we play with Drillers at 11:00am. ND40 play with United S.C. 3:00pm. If ND40 like to pick a team, they will keep an eye on our game. If ND40 really want to pick Drillers, we win and they win OR we lose and they lose. If ND40 want to pick us, we win and they lose OR we lose and they win. So, just play for fun on next game. let me and the bench have some play time. It's my 2 cents. Go Dragons in playoff!
