EDGE
SHOW PROMISE IN HOME LOSS
6-17-2006--
It is hard to put a smiley face on a 55-14 loss, but there really was one in this
matchup against the Corvallis Pride. The Pride totally dominated most of the first
half.. Even though the Edge scored early the Pride really went to town for most
of the second quarter, scoring 22 points. But near the end of the half the Edge
started a good offensive drive that was stopped by the clock and not the Pride
defense. The key to the drive was four or five pass attempts, three of which were
completed and they seemed to throw off the Pride defense which has almost exclusively
seen the run game from the Edge in past games.
The end of the half momentum
seemed to carry over into the second half. Although the Edge were outscored 16-8
in the second half they really played even with the Pride for most of it. I have
watched this team since its inception and the third quarter of this game may have
been one of the best played in franchise history. The team controlled the field
position game for most of the third, culminating in a punt to the INCH line when
"Rookie" stopped the ball from going into the endzone for a touchback.
On the very next play the Edge would get what I believe is their first safety.
The defensive line made great penetration into the Corvallis backfield to bring
the runner down before crossing the goal line for two points!

I would like team members to know that I cannot attend next week's game against
the Shockwave. I am hoping I can convince my son Spencer to attend and take pictures
for a few quarters. I wish I could attend but the NNFL championship is taking
place in Sweet Home. Had it not been the CHAMPIONSHIP game I would forgo the NNFL
and attend the Edge! I wish all the players the best of luck and I am sorry I
cannot be with you for the seaon finale.

SCORCHERS
DOWN EDGE IN HOME OPENER
EUGENE, OR
(5-20-2006)- The Eugene Edge played tough for a half but eventually fell to the
visiting Santa Rosa Scorchers 41-0. Despite the lopsided score the team shows
improvement. In this game a lot of points were scored against the Edge because
the team ran out of gas or was going through a learning curve process in some
instances. True the Scorchers began to gain momentum late in the second quarter
but it really wasn't until after half time that they took almost complete control.
The Edge displayed a reasonable running game but the lack of pass attempts
allowed the Scorcher defense to eventually key on the run and contain the Edge
offense. Both Tina Young and Coco Rawlings had some good runs, but all to often
they had to work hard just for a yard or two. There was a point late in the game
when the Edge started attempting passes. Although the passes fell incomplete,
it helped open up the running game a bit because it forced Santa Rosa to play
honest on defense. The Edge did complete a few good passes late in the game but
the QB started to become to reliant on one receiver and the defense began to key
on her.
The team now goes on the road for a game at Redding, a place
where they only lost by a point last season, before returning home June 3rd against
the Seattle Majestics, a team formerly located in Tacoma. The Majestics defeated
the league champion Sacramento Sirens earlier this year but lost to the Shockwave
last week. It appears the West is starting to become very competative. Pictures
from the Edge versus
Scorchers game can be seen here.
EDGE LOSE OPENER TO PRIDE
36-8!
PHILOMATH, OR (4-29-2006)-
It was a long wait but the Eugene Edge is back in action. First off the Fan Page
would like to apologize to the players for not making the Pride game. I had fully
intended to make it up to Philomath for the contest but illness struck late Friday
night and carried over until Saturday night. Plans for NNFL coverage had to be
altered as well. It is my intention to make it to the away game at Portland on
the 13th of May.
For the 5th year in a row the Edge was unable to get
a victory at the Pride. Every year the team makes strides and improvement but
it seems Corvallis somehow keeps the advantage! This time the Edge were defeated
by a score of 36-8. Although I wasn't able to attend someone from the organization
posted pictures from the game and they can be viewed here!
The team now gets a bye week before the big contest in Portland. The
IWFL tried some different scheduling this season and the Edge and Shockwave will
play three times this year, with two of the games in Portland. Hopefully the Edge
can win this season series. Only three years ago the Edge and Shockwave split
their season series.
Lastly, I am working on posting all the pictures
from previous seasons. I will be working on this project throughout the week and
will hopefully have it done by the weekend. I urge you to visit later in the week
if this interests you. Thanks for stopping by and GO EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDGE
HOLD TRYOUT AT SHELDON!
EUGENE,
OR (10-1-2005)- After a dissappointing season in which for player safety and concerns
the team was unable to play their final games of the 2005 season the Eugene Edge
is back and it appears ready for the 2006 season with many new faces to go with
some familiar ones.
Twelve players showed up today for the team's tryout
at Sheldon High School. Despite the low sounding number turnout was good because
more than half of the expected turnout called in and couldn't attend due to work
or other reasons. So the team has a good number of players but is still hoping
to add about ten more to give them over 30!
Players interested in trying
out should visit the official team page at http://www.theeugeneedge.com
and follow the correct links to contact the team.
Pictures from the teams
previous tryout can be seen at the official website and pictures from today's
tryout are posted here!
