Lehigh Valley Steelhawks News Release


Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks head back to the Mid-West for the second time in as many weeks as they take on the Cedar Rapids Titans in Iowa this Saturday night. The game will mark the first regular season contest in franchise history for the Titans, who have assembled a team full of indoor veterans.

The Titans (0-0) will be hosting their first regular season game in their young existence when the Steelhawks come to play. Last week they hosted an exhibition contest against the Omaha Beef, falling 25-12. Look for the Titans to start Veteran IFL Quarterback Willie Copeland behind center. He will have a wealth of talent at the Wide Receiver position as well with Former Sioux Falls Storm pass catcher James Terry along with local talent Johnny Gray.

The Steelhawks (1-0) will look to build on their positive outcome last week against the Chicago Sluaghter by taking down the Titans. In the 30-28 victory, Running back Ryan Leafey scampered for 68 yards on ten carries, and added a score. Defensively, Marvin Johnson's performance gained him league recognition as the IFL's Defensive Player of the Week for Week One. He recorded six tackles, and interception, and fumble recovery, and scored a defensive Touchdown on a blocked field goal. The Steelhawks Offense will be key in this game, as they hope to put more points on the board.

Kickoff is slated for 7:05 p.m. (CST). For those who wish to view the game online, please visit www.b2livetv.com and look up the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks under the "TEAMS" Section.
