Jeremy Lambie was the lone representative of the Junkyard Dogs at the May WSFL meeting yesterday in Sheboygan Falls. Each team's 2006 opponents were selected by their representative at the meeting. Because the Milwaukee Elite folded and the Green Bay Eagles appear to be back, the Washington County Patriots were asked to move into the South Division. Each team will play a total of ten regular season games with eight (four home and four away) inside their own division (Fox Valley, GB Bobcats, GB Eagles and Oostburg) and two outside their division. In the meeting, Lambie selected at random, the Beloit Hawks and Saukville Demons, two of three brand new teams in the league this year. Beloit will come to West Bend and the Dogs will travel down Highway 33 to play the Demons. The dates and times of these games will be decided by June 1st at the latest. Keep on eye on the website for the updated schedule as soon as it comes out.
