Shock Top Coaches Poll for Second Straight Week
June 11, 2008 - arenafootball2 (af2) News Release
CHICAGO - The Spokane Shock have maintained the No. 1 ranking in the Week 12 Coaches Poll, the arenafootball2 (af2) league office announced today. The Shock collected 447 of a possible 448 points and 27-of-29 first place votes in securing the top position for the second consecutive week. Spokane stayed perfect in 2008 at 10-0 after an impressive 17-point win at Boise this past Saturday, 68-51. The Shock are the only remaining unbeaten team in the af2.
The defending ArenaCup Champion Tulsa Talons (9-1, 411 points, 2 first place votes) earned the No. 2 position outright this week on the strength of a 70-40 home win against Lubbock. Tulsa's Week 11 victory was important because it helped the Talons increase their lead in the Central Division to two games over the No.6-ranked Renegades. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (8-2, 377 points) improved one place to No. 3 as the team rebounded from a Week 10 road loss to Manchester with a convincing road win at Albany, 69-27. The Florida Firecats (8-2, 357 points) slipped two spots to No. 4 after a 12-point loss at Manchester, 47-35. Tennessee Valley is a new entry into the Top-5 this week. The Vipers (7-3, 330 points) defeated No. 11 Lexington at home last week, 64-48. The victory was the seventh straight for Tennessee Valley.
