The Cincinnati Monarchs visit Family Arena for a 7:05 start. St. Louis won both previous meetings between the Central Division rivals. Six Flight players are averaging better than ten points per game, with Cedric Moodie leading the way with 16.5 scoring average. He scored 31 points in last week's win over the Monarchs. Tulsa University product David Shelton is averaging over 30 points per game for Cincinnati.
General Manager Larry Striklin has announced a price reduction for tickets to the Flight home games. The team has gone to a general admission seating policy. All tickets are $10 and fans can sit anywhere in the building for that price. Groups of ten or more can purchase tickets on a two for one basis.
