The Steelhawk’s offense struggled in the road loss last week and in the first half of this Sunday’s 39-57 loss to Bloomington but the Steelhawk’s management seem to have made the right move in aquiring quarterback Bryan Randall last week.
After scoring just 10 points in the first half, the Hawks put Randall in and immediately provided a spark to the offense. Early in the third quarter Randall drove the team down the field and rushed for a touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Bloomington bobbled the ball in their endzone and Steelhawk Sam Maxwell fell on it for a quick 6 points.
All said and done the Steelhawks scored 29 points in the 2nd half but couldn’t get the upper hand as Bloomington responded with a pair of touchdowns in response.
A tough home loss but a good time had by a nice and enthusiastic crowd.
The Steelhawks return to Stabler Arena this Saturday at 7:05pm to face local rival the Reading Express. This should prove an interesting game as Steelhawk Head Coach Thompson’s former team makes their first appearance in Steelhawk country for the 2012 season. Last year a lot of Reading fans showed up and we shared a friendly and fun rivalry.
The Reading Express is winless so far and the Steelhawks look to overcome two losses after a season opening win.
See you there!

What happened to QB Dixie Wooten?
The word I got is that he was given a release when Randall was acquired. I can understand wanting to be a starter.
