Game Log Ends


After Action Report: Maulers Fall to Stars in Dominant Performance
Baltimore, MD - The Baltimore Stars put on a stellar performance on their home turf, dominating the Pittsburgh Maulers with a final score of 30-6. The game showcased a spectacular showing by the Stars' offense, led by quarterback Chuck Fusina, and their impenetrable defense that left the Maulers struggling to find their footing.

Key Players' Stats:
Baltimore Stars:
• Passing: Chuck Fusina completed 14 out of 21 passes for 185 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
• Rushing: Lex Hilliard led the ground attack, rushing for 98 yards on 20 carries.
• Receiving: Ken Dunek was the top receiver, tallying 94 yards on 5 receptions.
• Kicking: David Trout was perfect on his field goal attempts, going 3 for 3, with a long of 54 yards.

Pittsburgh Maulers:
• Passing: Glenn Carano struggled, completing just 8 out of 23 passes for 151 yards, with one touchdown and five interceptions.
• Rushing: Lance Dunbar led the Maulers' rushing attack, gaining 54 yards on 16 carries.
• Receiving: David Clowney was the most productive receiver for the Maulers, recording 57 yards on 2 receptions.

In the end, the Baltimore Stars' cohesive and high-octane performance proved too much for the Pittsburgh Maulers to handle. The Stars' defense stifled the Maulers' offense, and their powerful offense consistently found ways to score. The Maulers will need to regroup and re-strategize before their next encounter, while the Stars look to build on their impressive start to the season.

Scoring Summary:
1st Quarter:
• BAL: Andre Caldwell scored an early touchdown on a 2-yard pass from Chuck Fusina, setting the tone for the Stars' offensive prowess. The point-after attempt (PAT) was good, putting Baltimore in the lead 7-0.

2nd Quarter:
• BAL: The Stars continued to shine as Andre Caldwell caught another touchdown pass, this time from 1 yard out. The extra point was successful, extending Baltimore's lead to 14-0.
• PIT: The Maulers finally responded with a touchdown of their own, with Scott Nizolek catching a 15-yard pass from Glenn Carano. However, the PAT was missed, leaving the score at 14-6 in favor of the Stars.
• BAL: David Trout added to the Stars' lead with a 44-yard field goal, capping off a 7-play, 81-yard drive, and making it 17-6 at halftime.

3rd Quarter:
• No scoring in the third quarter as both teams' defenses stepped up to keep the opposition at bay.

4th Quarter:
• BAL: David Trout continued to show off his kicking skills, nailing a 54-yard field goal, giving the Stars a 20-6 lead.
• BAL: David Trout struck again, this time from 27 yards, widening the gap to 23-6 with just under two minutes remaining.
• BAL: The Stars' defense demonstrated their prowess with Bill Hardee scooping up a fumble and returning it 28 yards for a touchdown, sealing the game with a final score of 30-6 in favor of the home team.

Article from The Bayou Tribune - Steaming into Battle: The Steamer Aims to Overcome the Elks
SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA - The Shreveport Steamer (1-0) is steaming into Commonwealth Stadium with a mission to bring their run-heavy offense and 4-3 defensive might against the Edmonton Elks (0-1) in a fierce Week 2 showdown. Head Coach Sean Payton has instilled a spirit of tenacity and teamwork in his squad, determined to secure a victory on foreign soil.

Led by quarterback D.C. Nobles, the Steamer's offense will rely on their hard-nosed running game, with the likes of Virgil Robinson and Brian Calhoun pounding the ground with force. The Steamer's run-heavy style aims to control the game's pace and keep the ball out of the Elks' hands.

From The Capital Gazette - Federals Seek Redemption in Showdown with the Hornets
The Washington Federals (0-1) are geared up to face the Charlotte Hornets (1-0) in a crucial matchup at the American Legion Memorial Stadium. Head Coach Joe Gibbs and his team are determined to bounce back after their week one defeat against the Philadelphia Bell.

The Federals' offense, known for its run-heavy approach, had moments of brilliance led by running back Buddy Hardeman and fullback Jerome Felton. However, the tough defensive line of the Bell posed challenges, forcing them to recalibrate their strategy.

Defensively, the Federals' 3-4 playbook put up a strong fight, with players like linebacker Dan Connor and safety Don Harris delivering impactful performances.

Heading into week two, the coaching staff is emphasizing better execution on both offense and defense. They are looking to make the most of their strengths against the Hornets' 3-4 defense, creating gaps for running back Buddy Hardeman to exploit.

With quarterback Mike Forslund at the helm, the Federals are determined to make more precise passes, targeting wide receivers Mike Fisher and Walker Lee, to put the Hornets' defense under pressure.

This Sunday's clash will be an opportunity for the Federals to showcase their resilience and prove their mettle. The team remains focused on their objectives and is committed to making adjustments to come out strong against the Hornets.

Fans can expect a thrilling contest as the Washington Federals seek redemption and a chance to secure their first win of the season. Let's rally behind our team and show them our unwavering support as they take on the Hornets in Charlotte. Go Federals!
