PLAYERS TO WATCH
A player to watch this week and most weeks is Indoor Football Leagues 2023 season MVP, Quarter back TJ Edwards. Edwards who leads the IFL in rushing touchdowns and total scoring comes off a huge road win having 103 yards with three touchdowns in the air and rushing for 88 yards with one touchdown. He looks to continue to add to those numbers this week as Sioux Falls ranks close to last in passing defense.
Another player to watch is running back Justin Rankin. Rankin was a significant addition for us this season. He played with the Fighters in 2022 before signing with the Bay Area Panthers, where he won a championship in 2023. He's coming off a big week, having rushed for 50 yards and nearly scored two touchdowns, which were unfortunately called back due to penalties.
Lastly, another player to watch is Defensive Back, Ethan Caselberry. Caselberry has been a great add defensively this season and has been a great leader as a rookie to this team. He comes off last game having six tackles and a couple of pass break ups.
