Predators-Fever: Battle Of Washington
March 26, 2010 - Indoor Football League (IFL)
Seattle Timberwolves News Release
Kent, WA: Coming off a bye week has the Predators well rested and feeling confident heading into tomorrow night's game against cross-state rival the Tri-Cities Fever. The time off has allowed Coach McCarthy and the Kent players to get back to basics as they try to overcome some of the early season issues that have plagued them this season. A win against the Fever would not only give them their first victory in team history, but also elevate the team out of the Pacific North Division cellar.
Tri-Cities is in their first year in the IFL after coming to the 25 man league from the now defunct AF2. They currently sit just a 0.5 game above the Predators with an 0-2 record. In their last game, the Fever fell 64-50 on the road against the defending IFL Champion Billings Outlaws. They are lead at Quarterback by Andy Collins, who has completed 67% of his passes for 393 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions on the young season. His primary weapon is former Dallas Cowboy Tyson Thompson, a running back who averages 35 yards per game rushing, and is just as threatening as a receiver out of the backfield. The game will mark the Fever's first home game as members of the IFL.
By reading the stat sheet, you wouldn't believe that the Predators have an 0-3 record. Among the top of the league in many offensive categories, the expansion franchise has simply shown their inexperience at crucial times this season. The time off for the bye week should go a long way in correcting the team's league high amount of penalties. Kick returner Jarvious Dunn ranks fifth in the IFL in All-Purpose yards with 280 to go along with his two scores, while Quarterback Charles McCullum leads the IFL in passing touchdowns with 14 and rushing yards with 214. A win against the Fever would leapfrog them over Tri-Cities and into fourth place in the Pacific North Division.
Those wishing to watch tomorrow evening's game can log onto www.b2tv.com and purchase a season or individual game pass. The Predators next home contest is scheduled for Friday, April 9th at the ShoWare Center in Kent at 7:30 p.m. Kent will seek to avenge their earlier season 48-39 loss at the hands of the Alaska Wild. Partial-season and Individual tickets are still available by calling the team office at 253-239-3254, or by visiting the Predators site at www.kentpredators.com.
