Hopefuls Sign With Express
12/04/07 - American Indoor Football Association (AIFA) Reading Express
Reading Express GM/Head Coach Bernie Nowotarski announced today that several players from the recent open try-out have signed Express contracts and will be in February's Camp to try and make this year's squad.
Joshua Shilko - is a 5'11" 245lb Linebacker and played his High School football at Tamaqua and his college career at Slippery Rock.
Brian Washington - is a 6'3" 260lb Fullback and played his High School football at West Chester East and his college career at Cheney and West Chester.
Andre Young - is a 6' 200lb Defensive Back and played his High School football at M.L. King and his college career at Kutztown University.
Roger Hall - is a 6'2" 195lb Defensive Back from right here in Reading. Roger played his High School football at Reading High where he was part of the Pennsylvania/Ohio Big 33 game. Roger then attended Penn State Berks Campus.
"These guys came to our open tryouts and worked extremely hard. They all caught the eyes of my position coaches and coordinators. They know what they are up against, but all these guys asked for was a chance and we would like to provide them with that chance. It's going to be a challenge, but you know if you don't have these open try-outs and take a good look at what's there, you could leave a good player slip by your program. Last year if you all remember we got Marcus Sargeant from our open try-outs. Yes, it's a long shot, but if you work hard and things go your way, you could find yourself on this squad." Commented Nowotarski
We will conduct one more open tryout on Saturday January 12, 2008 at our practice facility, Grand Slam Sports Complex. You can get all the details by going to our website at www.expressindoorfootball.com or call our office at 610-372-7277. We are still searching for local talent as well as talent from the surrounding areas.
