Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings News Release


AUSTIN, TX (July 26, 2008)- The Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings claimed their first division championship in team history on Saturday night with a 65-54 victory over Southwest Division rivals Austin Wranglers. The BattleWings opened the 1st quarter with four straight touchdown drives, after allowing a 33 yard touchdown strike from Wrangler QB Andy Hall to WR Sean Henley, and scored on their first eight offensive possessions of the game. WR Chavis McCollister led the Wings' early offensive charge with a 57 yard kickoff return for a touchdown, 2 touchdown rushes from 2 and 4 yards out, and 2 touchdown receptions spanning 13 and 31 yards to stake the BattleWings to a 49-27 halftime lead.

The Wings' first half fury was reduced to a fizzle as the Wranglers limited the BattleWings to only 16 points in the second half. The Wranglers cut their 22 point halftime deficit to 5 with 4:51 remaining in the game on a WR John Roberson 26 yard touchdown catch. The BattleWings, backed up at their own 3 yard line, answered with a 7 play, 47 yard drive finished by FB Jason Schule's 3 yard touchdown run.
