IT'S NOT WHERE YOU START IT'S WHERE YOU FINISH...AT LEAST IN THE REGULAR SEASON.
     BUT IN THE OFFSEASON, A GOOD START IS CRITICAL.
     GOOD THING FOR THE JACKALS THEY'VE EXPLODED OUT OF THE GATE.
     ELMIRA HAS REACHED OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND AGREED TO TERMS WITH NINO MUSITELLI.
     SOUND FAMILIAR?
     NINO WAS THE LEADING SCORER FOR THE DAYTON BOMBERS LAST SEASON.
     BUT FOR THE MOST PART, COACH STEVE MARTINSON IS STAYING IN HOUSE.
     HE SAYS THERE ARE CONTRACTS OUT THERE TO YOUNG GUYS LIKE CHRIS KORCHINSKI, BRANDON ROACH, AND WES CUNNINGHAM JUST TO NAME A FEW.
     THE GOAL IS TO WRAP UP AS MANY KEY COGS AS HE CAN BEFORE JULY FIRST.
     AND WHILE HE DOESN'T EXPECT TOO MANY TO SIGN RIGHT AWAY, HE THINKS THIS YEAR'S TEAM SHOULD LOOK A LOT LIKE LAST YEAR'S...EVENTUALLY.
