Two of the Nation's Best Face Off for First Time

Two Minor League Champions Battle this Saturday
The 2008 North American Football League champion Tornados take on the three-time, Mid-Continental Football League champion Detroit Seminoles

For release- September 21, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS- The last Saturday of the 2010 NAFL regular season will “go out with a bang” at Park Tudor School when the Indianapolis Tornados take on the Detroit Seminoles in inter-league play. The Seminoles organization is one of the nation’s most prestigious football clubs with thirteen championships in various semi-professional leagues, and team president Sylvester Jennings made a special, late-season request to face another title-holding franchise in the Midwest, the Indianapolis Tornados. Kickoff will commence Saturday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. as the Tornados provide their pre-game entertainment for Fan Appreciation Night.

The Seminoles have been to seven national championship games. In addition, they are the three-time Mid-Continental Football League champions, the three-time Mid-States Football League champions, and the three-time Michigan Football League champions. This “motor city” football club prides itself on being the best and playing the best, a reason why Jennings sought out the 2008 NAFL champion Tornados. Two storied franchises facing off for the first time should make for a great football game that fans will not want to miss.

The Indianapolis Tornados are a minor league football team with a rich history and an intense commitment to the community. The Tornados won the North American Football League championship in 2008, the largest minor league football organization in the country. Players from top colleges joined the Tornados for a shot at professional aspirations. For more information about the team and organization log on to www.indianapolistornados.com.

For release- September 3, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS- The Chicago Wolverines traveled to “Indy” to face the Tornados for the second time of this 2010 North American Football League season on Saturday, August 28. Wolverines exited the field of Park Tudor School and departed for their homes in the “windy city” with another disappointing loss to dwell on for the four hour car ride. The Tornados were victorious in the closely fought battle, ending with a 22-21 final score.

Brandon Williams had two touchdown passes for the Tornados, one of which was for 80 yards. In addition, Luther Baker returned a fumble for a 25-yard score.

The victory coincided with the Tornados’ “Back to School Night,” an evening themed around the beginning of the 2010 school year. The Indianapolis staff worked on numerous contests for the student fans involved with Tornados football; including the young scholars of elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and even those of Indianapolis-based universities.

Tornados’ Master of Ceremonies Scott Evans proved to be more than a man behind the microphone Saturday night. His non-profit organization Fight the Wackness Now, a group dedicated to helping young men and women reach their goals in spite of adversity, was the evening’s charity sponsor. Several fan contests for the night were in conjunction with this group’s cause.

The Indianapolis Tornados will be having their last home game of the season on Saturday, September 25. The team will be hosting “Fan Appreciation Night,” to express their gratitude to the Tornados who show their support from the bleachers each week.
