The West Michigan have suffered a minor set-back in their roster for this
season. On Sunday, November 25th the team was informed that newcomers
Kraig Brown and Ryan Hopkins have decided not to play for the Phantoms this
season. The two players from the Junkyard Dawgs decided that playing on two
teams on the same day is just too much and that they would both prefer to
remain scratched for the Phantoms for the balance of the season.

After the team heard the news, the phone banks were opened and the team is
working to fill the full time roster void by the departed Brown and the sub void
from the departed Hopkins. Announcements concerning the players who will
replace the above two are expected to made this week and the newest
Phantoms are expected in the Phantom line-up by the upcoming contest
against the Red Devils.
