Hoover Wins IFF Special Teams Player of the Week Award |
 | #26 K Justin Hoover |
The CIFL league office has announced that Fort Wayne Freedom K Justin Hoover has been named the www.IndoorFootballFan.com Special Teams Player of the Week for the CIFL for the week of April 21-28. It is the first such honor given to a Freedom player this season. Hoover was perfect on the night, going 7-for-7 on PATs and 2-for-2 on FGs, accounting for 13 points in the Freedom's 55-40 win over the Marion Mayhem. Even more impressive is the fact that Hoover did it with a strained quadriceps, a nagging injury that he has had most of the season. Hoover is also recovering from a separated shoulder he suffered while making a tackle only two weeks ago, on the road against the Muskegon Thunder. In that game, Hoover missed only part of the 2nd quarter while having his shoulder taped and immobilized, then he returned and finished the game. Hoover and the Freedom (3-3) will ride their two-game win streak into Miami Valley (2-5) this Friday, May 2nd. The Freedom opened their season with a 52-48 home win over the Silverbacks on March 21st. The defeat began a 5-game slide for the Silverbacks that didn't end until last week's win over the Milwaukee Bonecrushers (0-6). The Freedom returns home on Saturday, May 10th to take on the Saginaw Sting (5-2). Kickoff is at 7:00pm at Memorial Coliseum, and great seats are still available. To order tickets, contact Ticketmaster at (260) 424-1811. |

Freedom take ‘Rocky' road: Harvey runs for 2 TDs as team wins 2nd in row
By Stacy Clardie of The Journal Gazette Rocky Harvey seemed almost philosophical. The Continental Indoor Football League isn’t a running league, he insisted. He has to be patient, he said. But there’s no question he wants more carries, and those are coming as the season progresses. And likely won’t stop anytime soon. Click here to visit the Journal Gazette website and read the entire story. Highlights of the game are available by visiting Indiana's News Center HERE or by clicking on the Mayhem vs. Freedom image above. |

Freedom "D" Steps Up in Payback Win Over Raptors |
Freedom Ends Losing WaysBy Stacy Clardie of The Journal Gazette Fort Wayne had nine penalties Saturday. The last one was worth it. After Steven Kee intercepted Rock River quarterback Steve LaFalce’s pass with 2 seconds remaining, he was mobbed by Freedom teammates. Then he raced down the sideline, continuing to receive slaps to the helmet and hugs along the way, before throwing the ball into the stands at Memorial Coliseum. The celebration drew an unsportsmanlike penalty. |

Freedom Players Building Futures with Habitat for Humanity |
|
Fort Wayne Freedom players got up early on Tuesday, April 8th to participate in building the second home of the year for Habitat for Humanity in Fort Wayne. Shortly after 8:00am, the players, along with other volunteers, donated their time and effort to erect the exterior walls of House #116, located at 3813 Gretna Avenue in Fort Wayne. "We do lots of appearances and 'Meet & Greets,' but this is one of those events that guys actually sign up for," said Head Coach Willie Davis, Jr. "When we first heard about [the project], we had 4 or 5 guys say they would do it, but 7 came to help out. I'm proud of my guys. It's a great cause and I'm glad we could be part of it." For more information, contact the Freedom office at (260) 471-3733. The Freedom is on the road this week, taking on the Muskegon Thunder Saturday night, April 12th. They return home next week for a rematch with the Rock River Raptors on Saturday, April 19th. Kickoff is at 7:00pm and great seats are still available. To order tickets, contact Ticketmaster at (260) 424-1811. |
