The Steel City Yellow Jackets were supposed to play two big games this week, however, the snow fell down in Michigan and travel plans got messed up as both games got cancelled. Steel City still sits as the number 25 team in the country with a record of 4-3.
Coming off of a huge win on December 4th against the Reading Wizards, the Steel City Yellow Jackets were supposed to play two big games this weekend against the Kalamazoo Cobras and the West Michigan Lake Hawks. However, snow pounded the northern mid-west and caused a traffic nightmare forcing both games to be cancelled.
The Yellow Jackets are the number 25 ranked team in the country with their record sitting at 4-3 as the end of the first half of the regular season approaches. The Yellow Jackets are looking to make the playoffs for the third year in a row after making the playoffs in each of their first two seasons. As the first half of the regular season begins to come to a close, the Yellow Jackets still have one home contest left for the first half.
They will be taking on the Fredericksburg Grizzlies on December 17th at 7:30 p.m. at the Neighborhood Academy in Pittsburgh's East Liberty Neighborhood. Gil Cummings, Antonio Reddic, Marcus Smith, and the rest of the Steel City Yellow Jackets will be looking to put on a show and ride the momentum from their last win into this weekend.
Reddic is the team leader in scoring with 126 points on the season and is part of three other Yellow Jackets to have 100 or more points on the season, Lawrence Baker has 124 and Cummings has 111. The Yellow Jackets feature a high-powered offense that is helped out by some tough defensive play lead by Isaiah Prince, Reddic, and Baker.
Your last chance to catch all of the excitement in the first half is next weekend when the Yellow Jackets take on the Fredericksburg Grizzlies at 7:30 p.m. at the Neighborhood Academy. Saturday will be Health and Awareness day with the Steel City Yellow Jackets and Adult tickets are 10 dollars and student tickets are five dollars each.
