South Georgia Wildcats News Release
ALBANY, GA- The South Georgia Wildcats are very excited to announce the af2 league office has assigned WR Buchie Ibeh to the Wildcats roster.
Last season Ibeh played in nine regular season games and the playoffs with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers. He amassed 916 yards receiving on 77 receptions on his way to scoring 20 touchdowns. Ibeh led the Pioneers to a berth in the 2007 ArenaCup where he scored 2 touchdowns and gained 112 yards receiving in a losing effort.
"Buchie is one of the most complete receivers in this league," said Head Coach Derek Stingley. "His combination of size, speed, catching ability, and knowledge of the game is very rare in this league."
Ibeh spent the 2006 season as a member of the AFL champion Chicago Rush. He caught 16 passes for 205 yards while tallying 6 touchdowns.
"Buchie Ibeh is a winner," said General Manager Darren McPhail. "He has played in two straight championship games in the AFL and the af2 and we're excited about adding that mentality to our team and locker room."
The Wildcats open up the home portion of their schedule on April 5th against the Louisville Fire.
Season tickets are still available by contacting the box office at 229-435-2TIX.
