Nebraska Danger News Release
GRAND ISLAND, NE - For the second time in the team's first four games, Davonte Sapp-Lynch has earned the Nebraska Danger Player of the Week recognition, this time for a four touchdown game against the defending IFL champs in a game that went down to the final seconds.
In the end, the Barnstormers escaped with a 58-55 win Saturday night, but Sapp-Lynch made his presence felt after a quiet showing against Sioux Falls a few weeks ago. Sapp-Lynch ran early and often, totaling a team-high 77 yards on the ground in just eight carries. He tallied four touchdowns with three of them being lengthy.
He scorched the Iowa defense for a 23-yard and a 25-yard TD run in the second quarter to help pace the Danger. Then with just 1:47 left in the game, Sapp-Lynch ripped off another 25-yard TD run to put the Danger up 55-51 before the last second Barnstormer score to win it.
Sapp-Lynch also impressed on the receiving end of things, pulling in a team-high three receptions for 29 yards out of the backfield. He came up just one yard short of tying Eric Thomas for the most receiving yards in the game.
In a game that was dominated by the ground game, Sapp-Lynch proved he was up to the task. The Danger now sit at 1-3 on the year, but look to get back on track Saturday when they visit the Bismarck Bucks - the only team Nebraska has beaten so far in 2019. Kickoff for the game is set for 6:05 p.m.
Tickets for the 2019 Nebraska Danger Football Season are on sale through the Heartland Events Center Ticket Office, Ticketmaster.com, or through your local Pump and Pantry Locations. For more information, visit dangerfootball.com.
