In the last tournament before the Midwest Conference Championship, the Varsity Turnstone Flyers wheelchair basketball team hosted games yesterday (2/6/2010) versus two of the top 5 teams in the nation: #4 Sterling Heights Challengers and #5 Windy City Warriors along with #17 Milwaukee Wheelin’ Wizards who will likely finish in the top 5 by the end of the season.
