Greenville, MS. Andy Stoglin, Coach of the ABA Mississippi Stingers professional basketball team, took his squad on the road on Monday and Tuesday to scrimmage with the ABA Arkansas Rimrockers at the Alltel Arena.

We're heading into training camp this week to prepare for our season opener on November 20th against the Jacksonville Wave at the Leflore County Civic Center in Greenwood."
Stoglin added, "We follow up that game with another "home opener" at the Washington County Convention Center on Monday, November 29th against the Reigning Knights of Georgia."
Tip off for both games is 7PM. General admission is $7. (fan friendly and affordable). On Saturday, December 4th, the Stingers will travel to Clarksdale, MS for the inaugural Aaron E.
