Outlaws Beat Metamora For Fifth Win

springfield, il  - The Capital City Outlaws eight-man football team won Sunday afternoon, beating the Metamora Redbirds 19-18 at Rotary Park in Springfield. 

The coaching staff for the Outlaws were in Las Vegas, coaching all-stars from around Semi-Pro football in the Semi-Pro Casino Bowl. That left Outlaws players the challenge of not only playing a good team, but stepping up to help make on the field adjustments throughout the game.

 The Outlaw players were up to the challenge. The Outlaws came out with an early lead after scoring 2 touchdowns, and then held on to stave off a Metamora comeback late in the game.

 Quarterback Aubrey Collins had another solid game, throwing for a touchdown and showing poise and strength. Running Back Craig Rolfe ran for 2 touchdowns.

 On defense, Troy Helton and Craig Rolfe had an interception each and Lex Woolford had 7 tackles.

 The Capital City Outlaws is a semi-professional football team with several Springfield area players. Their next game is April 10th against the Jacksonville Sharks at Jacksonville.
