NEW AFL TO START WITH DRAFT

Grand Rapids, Mi - The Arena Football League is back but it's not the old one that used to run. The old AFL folded back in 2008 and with all the clubs taking time off it ment all the players went their seperate ways.

So starting tomorrow night the New AFL will hold it's first ever draft to fill all of the teams rosters. For Grand Rapids that means a new chance at returning to the old days of winning football and a shot at the AFL's top prize the Arena Bowl Trophy.

We have an idea of just who we are going to select in the first couple of rounds that should make us the talk of the league heading into week 1 of the season.

The Rampage open the schedule with a road game against the Colorado Crush in Denver Colorado with a 9 pm Kick-off.

RAMPAGE SELECT GREATEST WR IN AFL HISTORY WITH FIRST PICK!

Grand Rapids, Mi - Last Night the New Arena Football League held it's inaugural league draft for all the players that were in the old AFL plus some of the new rookie's that wanted to make the league as well.

The Rampage were given the 11 pick overall in the first round and they went with someone who is going to give them the most bag for their buck right away. The Rampage selected Offensive Specialist Damian Harrell who formerly with the Colorado Crush and holds almost every AFL record there was in the old league.

The Rampage then went with more experence in the AFL with their second pick at the Quarterback Position as they selected Raymond Philyaw.

These are two men that can lead the team not only to wins but also to our goal of reaching the Arena Bowl Play-Offs in the first year.

The rest of the roster will be released today after the final rounds of the draft are compelete.

RAMPAGE WIN SEASON OPENER!!

Denver, CO - The Grand Rapids Rampage won the season opener in Colorado 65-52 over the Crush at a sold out Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado last night.

Solid win over Colorado. Looks like Harrell had a big game!
P.S. You might want to switch the top performers around...as the players are under the wrong teams
