MBL Top 5; Key Matchups this weeken

With another exciting weekend of basketball goin' down in the Midwest Basketball League, here's the top Teams in the League and who they battle going into Mothers Day Weekend:

MBL Rankings (Week 1) 

(1) Dayton Air Strikers  (East) (3-0)  - The Air Strikers have shown that they will be a championship contender as they look to improve to 4-0 with a win at home this weekend. With balanced scoring from the entire team, the Strikers have started fast and shot straight to the top in the MBL. 

(2) Minnesota Rangers  (West)(2-0) -  Minnesota  has the 2nd spot after winning decisively in their first two games. Coach Jason Sandifer has done a great job with the team early;
 Can they keep it up in a big matchup coming up?

(3) Chicago Fury  (2-0) (West)  - Chicago  also has handled business in their first two games, and now have the marquee matchup soon as they will battle Minnesota for the top spot in the West. 
Should be a great matchup.

(4) Hamilton Heroes  (2-1) (East)- Hamilton  has gotten their feet squarely on the ground after a loss in game 2, with a nice win last game.  Can the Heroes continue up the charts this weekend?

(5) Indiana Fury  (2-1) (East)  - Indiana  squeezes into 5 spot after winning 2 of their first 3 games. 
  With the 3rd leading scorer in the league with Zach Payton,  the Fury are sure to be primed for the weekend.

 Which team will grab the 2nd position in the MBL East? Both teams have started to show promise. Can the Heroes win at home? Or will Zach Payton and the Fury grab a key road win?
