With the season opener coming up this weekend, the Steelhawks are holding their Kickoff party tonight at Roosevelt’s in Bethlehem at 6:00pm!
More on the season opener from the Steelhawks:
Bethlehem, PA: The Lehigh Valley Steelhawks head to the Mid-West to take on the Chicago Slaughter in the team’s 2012 IFL Season Opener. The new look Steelhawks, coming off a 4-10 record in 2011, have high hopes after a strong training camp, and are excited to finally hit the field for a meaningful game. The Slaughter upended the Steelhawks in a closely contested battle in 2011, and seek to extend a little revenge in the rematch. It will be the first of three times the two franchise’s face off against each other this season.
The Slaughter (1-0) are fresh off an impressive 54-30 victory against the Bloomington Edge last Sunday in the IFL’s Kickoff Classic. The one-two Quarterback punch of Perry Patterson and Juice Williams led the offense with three passing scores and one touchdown via the ground. Veteran Wide Receiver Tony Taylor will have to be monitored at all times by the Steelhawks secondary do to his impressive speed.
The Steelhawks (0-0) are trying to set a new tone for the 2012 season and don’t mind being a team that is under the radar heading into their opener. They return seven veterans from last season’s team, highlighted by Linebacker Adrian McLeod from Western Carolina University. In just 11 games last season, McLeod was among the top five in many defensive categories including total tackles (110), safeties (2), and sacks (6) from the linebacker position. Offensively, key trades to acquire All-IFL Offensive Lineman Chris Nunn, WR Jeff Willis, and Quarterback Dixie Wooten will help the Steelhawks to be a high powered offense right out of the gate.
Kickoff is slated for 7:35 p.m. (CST) with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. For those who wish to view the game online, please visit www.b2livetv.com and look up the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks under the “TEAMS” Section.
