Soccer Game Preview: Paradise vs. Maxwell

Paradise hasn't had much luck against Maxwell recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. A feisty cat fight will be fought when the Paradise take on the Maxwell at 3:15 p.m.

Paradise is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to five goals last Tuesday, they were much more limited against Redding Christian on Tuesday. They lost 7-0 to the Lions.
