Storm Look to Earn Trip to Memphis
Nashville GDFL team playing for Impact Conference Championship this Saturday
NASHVILLE- The stage is set and the Nashville Storm (12-0) of the Gridiron Developmental Football League is primed and ready to make win a championship for the fourth time in the last five years. They have just two more hurdles to raise the trophy. This Saturday they will take on the Oklahoma City Bounty Hunters (10-2) for the first time ever at Maplewood’s Black Cat Stadium.
WR Jeramie “Bird” Whittaker has three TD receptions in two playoff games.
Nashville is on a 21 game winning streak which is a franchise record. The Storm defense has only given up seven total points in the playoffs while far. The Bounty Hunters have also been stingy on defense with a shutout and only giving up 18 points in the playoffs. Playing at home gives Nashville confidence, but they are sure that Oklahoma City will be a tough opponent.
Storm QB Zach Ducker tries to escape an Indianapolis defender.
“Once you get this late in the season everybody is good,” said Storm QB Zachary Ducker. The scores of our games have not been a true indicator of how tough our games have been. Everybody wants to be the team to knock us out. I am glad that we are at home but we will have to play our best game to come out with a victory. The added incentive is the championship game being in my hometown. While I am not looking past this week, I still am motivated to play in front of my friends and family. We have worked hard this week and we are focused. I can’t wait to get out there Saturday.”
Game time is 7 p.m. local at Maplewood High School 401 Walton Lane in Nashville.
