GETTING REST

After playing four games in Week 11, the Fuel will have a few days off before beginning a home and home series with the Wheeling Nailers. “We want to make sure we are as smart as we possibly can be and stay healthy and prepare for Wheeling.

They are currently seven points out of the final playoff spot in the Central Division.
