Rage WIN TITLE!

     The Orlando Rage finished the 2008 season with a huge win over the Sarasota Millionaires in the SSFL Championship "Rice Bowl" making the Rage the SSFL Champions for 2008. The Rage prevailed in a record-breaking 55 to 26 shoot out in which the combined special teams of the Rage and Millionaires accounted for four of the game's touchdowns and the defenses accounted for two more.

     The Rage had previously been denied the opportunity to play for the coveted Championship by getting knocked out of the play offs in the semi-finals on four prior occasions. Interestingly enough, this season the Rage went into the post-season as the last seed with a less than .500 regular season record. "It doesn't matter how you start; it's how you finish" commented Rage Head Coach and SSFL Coach of the Year, Leonard Opheim.

     The Rage set the pace of the game early, pinning the Millionaires deep on their own five yard line on the opening kick-off. The Millionaires punted to Rage DB/KR Jerome Lowry who weaved his way to the game's first score. The Millionaires then gave the Rage a dose of their own medicine, pinning the Rage inside the five and forced a fumble allowing the Millionaires' defense a score. Rage 7, Millionaires 6.

     Next Rage QB PeeJay Jack connected with WR Preston McGann for a sixty-plus yard touchdown. making the score 14 to 6.

     The Millionaires again punted to Jerome Lowry, who was later named the game's Defensive MVP, who again scrambled his way to the end zone for the score. Rage 21, Millionaires 6.

     The Rage scored two more times in the first half with touchdown passes from Jack to McGann and to Theo "Snoop" Chatman and the Millionaires scored on a spectacular kick off return by WR/KR William Carter making the score 34 to 13 at the half.

     Although down by three touchdowns at the half, the Millionaires were far from quitting and came out looking for the win. The Millionaires held the Rage offense and managed a long drive culminating in a short touchdown run making the score 34 to 20. With the momentum seeming to swing to the Millionaires, the Rage special teams again managed a score when Rage LB Greg Lewin blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone. Rage 41, Millionaires 20.

     The game finished up with another touchdown by Jerome Lowry on an interception return, another touchdown pass from Jack to Chatman and a fourth down touchdown pass and catch between Millionaires QB Michael Peterson and WR Dexter Morrison.

     The Game finished with the Rage on top, 55 to 26. Game MVP's were given out to Jerome Lowry who accounted for two special teams touchdowns and an interception return for a touchdown and Preston McGann with two touchdown receptions and a number of key receptions.

     The game was a record-setter in total points of 81 in a Championship game, and the Rage's putting up 55, Lowry's two punt returns for TD's and Carter's kick off return of 96 yards.

     By winning the Championship the Rage have been invited to play in the Winter National Championship Game sponsored by National Football Events on May 24 in Daytona Beach.

Good Afternoon,

I am a 5th grade teacher at Pinewood Elementary School here in Orlando.  Our school is a Title 1 school where 100% of our students have free lunch.  We are planning a school carnival for the students and are in need of prizes, celebrities, such as Rage players, silent auction items, anything you all can offer would be wonderful.   

I have a daughter who comes out and supports the team when she can.  She knows a couple of players, and knows #58 Johnny Quarterman and I know he would be willing to lead the group out if they were allowed to show up.  We had The Predators and the Outlaws out for a class or two, but I would love to have Rage come out and show who the boss is.  It would be so wonderful for our young men to see such great influences, mentors, and role models.  We need that so much for them.  If I could get a couple of tickets to put in our silent auction or to raffle off I am sure that will bring in a nice donation as you are the CHAMPS!  Of course I bet t-shirts or anything that has RAGE on it would be a donation getter. 

Would you please consider being our heroes and come out May 17th ? It is scheduled from 10 – 3 we would love to schedule an hour or so of their time.  Just let me know what time I can expect them – make the kids happy.  Of course I would let the media and community members know how supportive RAGE is to Pinewood.   

Thank you for your time and consideration
