The website was down until Thursday June 6. I spent time trying to fix it instead of writing a game story. It was an exciting game. The Ravens made it close in the 2nd half.

Donovan Weems and EJ Ash give the Ravens a formidable backfield combination. xx  
 
When Olsen was forced out of the pocket of the Nightmare's opening drive Volney Cothran stopped him for a short gain. The Nightmare went 8 plays and 32 yards on their opening drive ended but came away empty when their 41 yard field goal attempt was blocked by #44 and returned out to the 16 by #12. Two yard gain early in the 2nd quarter.
 
Back to back sacks by LB Joe Disney and DL James Leland forced the Nightmare to go 3 and out on their first drive of the 3rd quarter. Jerry Gray wasn't fooled on this naked bootleg by QB Jeff Olsen.
 
QB Jeff Roach scrambled for 3 yards late in the 4th quarter. Sam Seumae
