LIONS MARCH OVER GUARD, 75-16 Date: 4/19/2008 11:27:09 PM
COLUMBUS, GA (April 19, 2008) – In the match up of “Ft. Benning vs. Ft. Bragg I” the Columbus Lions (4-2) of the American Indoor Football Association defeated the Fayetteville Guard (0-4) 75-16.
After falling behind early 2-1, the Lions never looked back as Starting Quarterback Joey Conrad dismantled the Guard defense with an aerial assault completing 14 of 17 passes for 274 yards and 6 touchdowns. Each of the Lions three wide receivers each had over 120 yards receiving with Gerald Gales bringing in 4 touchdown catches.
The Lions defense marched into action as they held Guard’s Starting Quarterback Jasun Thompson to only 151 yards and 1 touchdown. Linebacker Justin Rivers led Lions brigade as he returned another turnover for a touchdown, his third defensive touchdown this season. 2007 League Defensive MVP Damian Daniels added an interception as the Guard committed 3 turnovers and allowed 4 sacks. Even Kicker Hunter Smith got into the scoring act as he aced 4 Rouge kicks, bringing his total to 6 on the season.
Next week, the Lions will be hitting the road to take on the Florida StingRays (0-5) on April 26th. Fans can still catch all the action on LIVE 365, but be sure to tune into the Coaches Show on AM 1270 this Tuesday live from the Sports Page as Head Coach Jason Gibson breaks down last weeks and this weeks game.
