Dixon helping Outlaws charge to top of NIFL

April 19, 2006 - National Indoor Football League (NIFL)
Billings Outlaws News Release


You have to love it when a plan comes together, even when it is ahead of schedule.

When the Billings Outlaws set out to build a championship caliber team, they went hard after recruiting some of the best talent in the country. They assured each and every player recruited, they would support and promote each and every opportunity they could muster for the players to make the "move up".

The first of such opportunities may be looming on the horizon for Chris Dixon the Outlaws starting QB. Chris has been invited for a try out with the CFL's BC Lion's.

"We knew this day was coming and have been planning for it since day one" stated Head Coach Heron O'Neal. O'Neal went on to state, "Chris is a great asset and deserves every possible break he can get, if this isn't it, there will surely be more opportunities for a young player of his caliber. We have had several contingency plans in place, some that may surprise a few folks in the league."

Dan Austin Managing Partner for the team stated "Chris is a great asset on and off the field. There is the side of me that hopes that this may be the break that he needs, then the other that clearly acknowledges he is an asset to our team and I can not wait for him to return from his try out and get back to business with the Outlaws."

As it was, Chris was scheduled to sit out this week's game with St Joseph and give current back up QB Adam Sanchez his second look at the Capitols. Sanchez stepped in for Dixon in the second half last week and scored two quick TD's. This is another good opportunity for Adam to continue his excellent progress in the indoor game.

"For now we will take it one game at a time, Chris may be back next week or we may need to suit up one of the QB's we have had practicing and learning our offense. Either way, we are still on course to go the distance" Stated O'Neal with confidence.

The Outlaws next game will be at home this Saturday night against St Joseph MO. at 7:05 pm at the Metrapark. For more information on the Outlaws, visit our Website at www.billingsoutlaws.com. Don't' miss the action; get your tickets now by contacting the Metrapark Box Office at 256-2422.
