Harrisburg Stampede News Release
HARRISBURG, PA (February 8, 2013) - Harrisburg Stampede Head Coach, Bernie Nowotarski announced today that he has signed 5 players for the 2013 Season.
As Training Camp approaches, the Stampede Coaching Staff is still working on bringing in players for the March 1 start date. In previous years Head Coach Nowotarski and Staff would bring in the League limit of 45 players to camp. The Stampede staff decided that this year they would be more selective in their player search. We are only bringing in maybe 33 or 34 players. We plan on practicing March 1st and game planning for our opening game on March 16th. We just don't have enough time to fairly and properly evaluate 45 players. We want to get right down to business and be ready for opening night, commented Coach Nowotarski.
The Stampede has certainly strengthened its roster in the last 10 days with the signing of Vincent Tiberi, Mark Stout, Brian Bradford, Jamaal Stokes and todays signing of Shaquane Madison. Tiberi and Bradford were among the League leaders last season in tackles, sacks and creating problems for opponants. Stout has been a long-time fixture with Coach Nowotarski, but he gets ready every season and helps to keep QB EJ Nemeth protected. His experience is also invaluable to the rookies and younger linemen. Stokes is another experienced vet who can play both sides of the ball at WR or DB. Stokes will be reporting to Stampede camp as he finishes up his Military Boot Camp for the National Guard. Madison is another two-way player on the OL and DL. This is another Stampede Linemen that has size and strength and Indoor experience.
We are looking forward to Training Camp and getting ready for our Home Opener on Saturday March 16th. We have a lot of work to do in a very short time, but it's just part of our philosophy to "Work Together, Win Together, remarked Nowotarski.
Just a Reminder: The Stampede has their Home Opener on Saturday March 16th at 5pm and you can get your tickets through the Stampede Web Site... .
