Wichita Stealth News Release
Wichita, Kan. - After a 35-28 win over the Rio Grande Valley Dorados this weekend, the Wichita Stealth jump back into the #1 spot in the af2 Coaches' Poll after slipping to #2 last week. Wichita'a opponent this weekend, the Quad City Steamwheelers, have moved into the #2 spot to set up the marquee match-up of the week this Saturday night.
The Stealth earned a total of 281 points in this week's poll, including 21 first place votes. Quad City came in with 239 points and one first-place vote. This marks the second time in three weeks that the Stealth have taken the #1 spot in the poll.
Each week during the season, af2 coaches will vote for the Top 12 teams in the league by ranking them one through 12 on a ballot. Teams ranked first receive 12 points with the point value decreasing by one for each place below first, meaning a team ranked 12th would receive one point. Total points will determine the Top 12 list. In the event of a tie in total points, the team with the greater number of first-place votes will be ranked higher.
The complete poll is listed below. The number in parentheses behind the vote count represents the number of first place votes the team received. The coaches poll will be announced every Wednesday during the regular season. Coaches may not vote for their own team and the results have no bearing on postseason qualification.
