     FFA fans are used to seeing the Orlando Rage and TC Bobcats meeting on the gridiron, but Saturday the players met in an unusual location-Florida's Turnpike.

     At approximately 3:30 pm Saturday the Orlando Rage team bus was traveling southbound on Florida's Turnpike to Miami.  Coincidentally, Bobcats players were traveling along the same stretch of the turnpike to Fort Lauderdale to take on the Broward Bears.

   At that instant a northbound vehicle lost control and flipped over the guardrail into the southbound lane and ejecting passengers onto the roadway.

     Bobcat players Daniel LaFleur and another immediately got into action to stop traffic and lend assistance as the Rage bus pulled over to assist. LaFleur led the charge to roll the vehicle off of a teenage boy who was partially trapped under the crashed SUV. Once the car was righted, Rage DB Dale Boston and others wrestled the mangled interior of the vehicle to extract another victim.

     On the Rage bus was Offensive Line coach, Rick Leita, Director of Paramedics in Seminole county and a 25 year firefighter/paramedic. Leita, with assistance of LaFleur, Rage staff and players, another off-duty paramedic and two nurses who came upon the scene were able to triage the victims, consisting of a 7 year old girl, two teen boys and two adults.

     "When we pulled up all that I saw was an overturned vehicle in our lane, bodies on the roadway and a little, pink child's car seat-my heart immediately sunk" said Rage President, Christopher Morrison. "We rushed out to assist with our game day medical kit and a busload of strong arms to aid. I hope that our presence and the heroics of Daniel [LaFleur] and Rick [Leita] will aid in the family's recovery" Morrison concluded.

    The Orlando Rage opened the 2012 regular season by traveling to Miami to take on the enigmatic Miami Spartans. In past years the Spart's have knocked off giants like the Miami Magic City Bulls, yet lost to seemingly inferior opponents.

     "Opening any season in the FFA is interesting; you never know how you'll match up or just how good the opponent is." Said Rage first-year head coach Ron Scarlata. Even more interesting, "prognosticators"  have suggested that the Rage's winning days are over.

     The Rage defense set the tone early on the Spart's first drive holding them to a "3 and out".  The Rage offense didn't waste any time either. On the first play from scrimmage Rage RB Levi Raines scampered 78 yards for the score.

     The Rage continued to roll up points on three more scores in the first half on touchdown passes by QB Kyle Israel to WRs Jeremiah Chatman and Nakeem Pittman.

     Rage 21, Spartans 6 at halftime.

     The Rage continued to amass points on offense while the "Goon Squad" defense remained stingy for the second half.

    Additional scores by RB Raishard Slater, a 37 yard field goal by PK Michael Whitfield, another completion from Israel to Pittman and an exciting "pick six" by Rage DB Rahmel King completed the scoring.

     Rage 45, Spartans 12: Final.

In a rematch of Alliance Bowls III and IV, the MC Bulls will travel to Orlando to face the Rage in an early season match up this Saturday.

     Last year the Bulls outlasted the Rage in the Championship winning 56 to 50. The year before it was the Rage who ended up on top winning in overtime 40 to 34.

     The 2012 version promises to be an exciting one.

    BULLS @ RAGE, January 28, 2012. Kick Off at 7:05 pm.
