Compared to the long hours required to put an arena football configuration on the Albi Stadium turf, Spokane Shock head coach Rob Keefe figured he had the easy job Saturday night.
On a balmy evening that started with sunshine and finished under the lights, the Shock took a big step toward making the playoffs with a 76-49 victory over the Utah Blaze in the first outdoor game in Arena Football League history. A crowd of 16,233 watched the Shock (8-8) move one game in front of Utah (7-9) for the last National Conference playoff berth.
Nice crowd and good to see former EWU QB and Payton Award winner Erik Meyer leading the charge. Meyer had six touchdown passes and ran for another before exiting the game with cramps.

Correct. The former Texas State receiver was signed to Hartford 27 JUN to replace the released Syndric Steptoe (Arizona).
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
Thanks. I knew he went there last year after the AFL playoffs. Didn't know he had returned. He usually posts something on Facebook that I can reply to. Maybe I missed it
