SEMI-PRO FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT ACTION WINDS DOWN
As the 1999 season winds down and many member league champions have advanced to regional type playoffs, all that remains before crowning the ?99 AFA National Champion are the results of a few challenge game type tournaments across the country. Still in the hunt for the AFA?s top spot is the nation’s number one rated team the Southern Michigan Timberwolves (14-0). The T?wolves, one of the few undefeated AAA teams in the country, will be playing in the Mid-West post season tournament semi-finals this weekend against the Kane County (Ill.) Eagles. Last year’s AFA National Champions, the Kalamazoo (MI) Tornadoes (12-1), will take on the undefeated Springfield (IL) Rifles (11-0) in the other half of the Mid-West tournament championship.
In the east, triple-A semi-pro football fans will find the Marlboro (MA) Shamrocks (13-1) playing host to the Scranton (PA) Eagles (16-1). The winner will play the Central (PA) Piranha (12-0) for the Northeast Challenge tournament title. Both Scranton and Marlboro have won AFA national titles in the past. Scranton in 1984 and ?89 and Marlboro in 1997. Still in the mix for AFA Northeast Regional honors is the undefeated West Deptford (NJ) Broncos (9-0). The Broncos will play the Central (VA) Storm for the Mason/Dixon League championship on Sunday November 13.
Two AFA regional champions, the 13-1 Wichita Falls (TX) Drillers and the 12-2 Puget Sound (WA) Jets, have decided to test their team’s talents against each other in a bowl game. The Drillers are the United Professional League champs and the Jets took league championship honors in the Northwest Football League this season.
In AA football action the current top 5 rankings are:
Chicago Chargers (10-0)
Central Maine Storm (8-0)
Virginia Monarchs (15-1)
Central Ohio Lions (11-1)
Lincoln (Nebraska) Renegades (8-1) and the Wickenburg (Arizona) Warriors (4-0).
