Huntington, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It looks like Huntington's entry into the American Indoor Football Association is on hold for now.

The Hero's didn't show up for a game Friday in South Carolina against the Florence Phantoms.

The Hero's former head coach told a Florence newspapaer that he and his players quit the team because of financial problems.

There is no word from the team's owner on if the Hero's will finish the season or not.

Hero's is not plural for hero

Even the H-D got this one right, and I hate giving props to the newspaper.

I agree with you, Mr. Jones. Those one would expect to be most aware often seem to be clueless about the usage of our language.
