(Considering they were 3-13 last year AND in 2005, this is pretty good...
The Jon Norris-Quincy Carter era started with a bang in Bossier City. Carter, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, made his af2 debut and led the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings to 67-52 win over the Ft. Wayne Fusion. Carter completed 20 of 29 attempts for 237 yards and six touchdowns. He threw one interception. He was overshadowed, though, by the spectacular debut of Wings’ defensive back Kendrick Walker. The 3rd-year pro from Abilene Christian intercepted three passes and returned a missed field goal for a touchdown. Late in the game, as Walker came off the field, Carter bowed to him as if to say “We are not worthy.” It was a moment of levity and a nice gesture by Carter, who by all accounts has ingratiated himself to his new teammates.
Jamaal Perry led all Battle Wings receivers with 8 catches for 177 yards and three touchdowns. Anthony Chambers, one of the few players to return from the 2006 Battle Wings squad, caught t
wo fourth quarter touchdown passes. Another returning player, fullback Jason Schule, rushed for two scores and caught a touchdown pass. Schule’s third touchdown of the evening came on the final play of the game as he scampered 45 yards with a simple hand-off around the right side.
Cody Hodges attempted 40 passes for the Fusion, completing 24 with six touchdowns. But, he also threw three interceptions, all of them to Kendrick Walker.
The Battle Wings scored first and never trailed. Their largest lead was 22 points, 42-20 following a Marcus Harris fourth quarter touchdown run.
The game ended with a furious flurry. Ten touchdowns, five by each team, were scored in the fourth quarter.
Defensive lineman Elex Reed, who recorded the
Wings’ only sack of the evening, was named the defensive player of the game. Quincy Carter earned offensive honors. In the no-brainer decision of the decade, Kendrick Walker was named Ironman of the game.
The Battle Wings will be at home next Saturday to face the expansion Texas Copperheads.
