Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2008 8:01 pm
in a very cold laidley stadium , saturday the 20th. the west va. lightning won the national semi-pro national championship over the missouri cyclones. by an 18-15 margin. both teams were undefeated coming into the game . charleston was the usfa champions, and the cyclones the champs of the mvl. so in true playoff fashion, they settled it on the field. it was a hard fought defensive struggle all night. as the 2 teams just blasted away at each other. i had the luxury of being on the sidelines, thanks moose. and got some pictures. but in a very hard fought victory, that included missed extra points, missed field goals, and blocked punts. the special teams shined in this one. truley one of the coolest games i've ever saw in my life. the ceredo kenova crash. and the west virginia lightning are in the same conference. and about 20 of the lighning are ex ck crash players. they will meet each other twice next summer, as conference foes. it was a great evening for football.
