River Monsters Battle Dayton for the Number Two Spot

The River Monsters (2-2, 2-1 South) host the Dayton Sharks (3-1, 2-1 South) tomorrow for the number two sport atop the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) South division.

The Sharks only loss of the season came at the hands of the Marion Blue Racers, 50-41 at Dayton. The Sharks are coming off a 51-21 thrashing of the Kentucky Extreme last week.

Tommy Jones leads the Sharks attack with 692 yards, 20 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions through the air. The Sharks have the second best scoring offense in the league, averaging 45 points a game.

The River Monsters are still trying to find their rhythm under new head coach Mike Goodpaster. In Goodpaster's debut two weeks ago, they fell to the CIFL South leading Marion Blue Racers 27-20.

The River Monsters have the third best defense in the CIFL, allowing only 28 points a game.

Kyle James, River Monsters duel threat quarterback, leads the team with 296 total yards; 189 through the air and 107 on the ground. James also leads the team in touchdowns with seven; four passing and three rushing.

For Military Appreciation Day, all active duty and veteran military get in free with a military ID. The first 120 children receive a GI Joe action figure and the first 500 adults receive a deck of sport characters playing cards.

Kickoff is at 7:30 tomorrow inside The Bank of Kentucky Center.
