GAME PREVIEW
2006 KICKS OFF IN
MICHIGAN
Warriors travel to
Kalamazoo, Michigan to play the Southwest Michigan
Punishers
By

Lima Warriors Staff Reporter
5/30/06 – LIMA -
A
well-organized franchise with quality players, coaches
and history is not in every city. Lima does possess
such a team and area residents are looking forward to
another great season.
The Lima
Warriors open up the 2006 season Saturday, June 3 on the
road in Kalamazoo, Michigan at Mayors Riverfront Park
against first year team Southwest Michigan Punishers.
Saturday
will mark the first time that the Warriors and Punishers
have met.
The (0-1)
Punishers franchise played their first game last week in a
heartbreaking 22-20 loss against the Michigan Renegades.
The
Punishers had a 20-14 lead in the fourth quarter when the
Renegades scored a touchdown and were successful on a two
point conversion.
The
Warriors finished 11-2 last season. They are not too
familiar with the opening match up, but know that the first
year team has great potential.
"Kalamazoo
has a strong history for producing talented players and
strong teams, but we do not know much about them because
this is our first game against them," said head coach John
Parkins.
The
Punishers have very talented players such as quarterback
Bobby Hicks who the Warriors defense will look to attack all
game.
