The Capital City Outlaws will begin their 2007 Season this weekend, on Feb 18 against the Staunton Sharks at 2 PM in Staunton.  The Outlaws enter their 5th Season in Springfield with a lot to be happy about.  The Outlaws are the continuation of a 15 year journey of Semi-Pro Football in Springfield.  The Outlaws have recorded 30 victories and 8 losses in their last three years in the 8FL and are one of the league’s favorites to win the Championship in 2007.  The Outlaws will have to contend with the Macomb Mayhem, last years Champions, who beat the Springfield Stallions 44 to 27 in the Championship Game.  The Stallions are now playing in the Continental Indoor Football League.

 The Outlaws look to complete their 70th game as a franchise this season, and will provide Chris Lawson with his 120th game as a Head Coach in Springfield, as a part of the Springfield Bucs and Outlaws.  His carrier record is 76 wins and 38 losses.  In the 2007 season, we also expect to see some new milestones set with Springfield’s Most Prolific Quarterback, Dan Eck (Sacred Heart Griffin).  Who is on track to throw his 100th touchdown this season.   The team will return  6 of the 8 All League Players from last season:

Dan Eck-Quarterback

Q Clemons-Fullback

Aaron Boosinger-Offensive Tackle

Tony Shiffman-Center

Cody Yonker-Defensive Tackle

Jarrod Powell- Cornerback

Brent Bordenkircher –Offensive Tackle (Retired)

Troy Helton –Linebacker (Injured Reserve)

 The team will highlight the returning running back tandem of Lamarris Fortune (Springfield High), Q Clemmons (Lanphier High School) and running back converted receiver in Damon Bishop of Southeast High School.   The offense should see some exciting new comers at wide receiver, Brady DeClerk of Taylorville and running back Nate Bottom of Lanphier High School.

The Defense will also have a little new and old this year.  Defensive all-stars, cornerback Jarrod Powell of Girard High School will try to top his 9 interception best of last season and be complemented by cornerback Daris Miller of Southeast High School, one of the biggest hitters in the league.  Tim Jones of Greenfield High School will return this season as defensive end.  The fans will also see some sensational newcomers in defensive end, Jay Russell of Mac Murray College and a former Decatur Bear.  Kalib Brown of Girard High School who will be one of the staring linebackers and fans will also see SHG force, Andrew Brewer in the line up at defensive end.   This season we should see exceptional performances from Jason Pochynok of Springfield High at safety and wide receiver and utility player Billy Noble of Riverton High School. 

The Outlaws will play their first home game on  March 4th at 1PM against the former League Champions, Macomb Mayhem at Four Season Sports behind Bunn Golf Course.
