    BVI do not know how to fight fair. I agree with USVI and I'm from tola. But for future, get rid of the 4 pointer. No real league considers it. BVI need to get up to the times in terms of skill. If you need training, go train but treat people fairly. Good for USVI. Also, PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. THIS IS AN EMBARASSMENT. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD AT PARAQUITA BAY.
