Quad City: 'Classic hate game'

Pirates in must-win status without rivalry with Steamwheelers

May 2, 2003

By DAVE EMINIAN
of the Journal Star

PEORIA - Jon Verdegan is going to night school, trying to finish a masters in physical education/exercise science.

But the all-purpose lineman for the Peoria Pirates already has a degree in the af2 rivalry that continues tonight when the defending champions visit Quad City.

The 7:30 p.m. game at The Mark in Moline is crucial for the Pirates, who've given themselves a degree of difficulty by starting their title defense 1-3.

The 6-foot-2, 280-pound Verdegan, meanwhile, knows all about the af2 rivalry. He spent the 2001 training camp with Quad City, which opened that season against Peoria in the latter's first game after moving from the defunct IFL. Then he played for the Pirates against Quad City last season.

"Quad City was looking forward to that first Pirates game all during (2001) camp, they were thinking they were really gonna pound Peoria because it had been an IFL team," said Verdegan, who lives in Davenport and ran across several Steamwheelers this past offseason while working at a YMCA. "What are they thinking about (tonight's) game? I don't want to start anything. All I know is, it's all about pride."

There are only four Peoria players left from the 2002 club that humiliated Quad City 81-56 and 67-43 last season. The Steamwheelers need no reminder, with 12 returning players.

"Bloodbath," said head coach Rich Ingold when asked earlier this week what to expect against the Pirates tonight.

"We need to score every drive, make it easy on our defense," veteran Peoria receiver Jack Walker Jr. said. "I've heard all about this Peoria-QC rivalry. I've looked at this game since the schedule came out. I know the Quad City owner, know the front office people over there from when I played at Iowa.

"They tried to recruit me this season. So I know what this game means to them, especially when they've got so many guys who were beaten so badly by Peoria last year.

"This is a game that can turn our season around. But rivalry aside, we need to beat anyone right now."

The Pirates completed a week of furious, frenzied practices Thursday.

"This is a classic hate game, our teams just don't like each other no matter who's on the roster," Pirates head coach Bruce Cowdrey said. "A wounded bear is a dangerous animal, and that's what our team is right now. If they think we're coming over there to lay down . . . it's not gonna happen."

Cowdrey sat quietly in a chair, watching his team rage around him.

"We didn't have to talk anyone into playing this game," Cowdrey said. "Anyone you have to talk to this week, hasn't got any football in them."

Buried treasure: Pirates receiver and kick returner Versie Gaddis suffered a bruised back on an end zone hit late in last week's game at Louisville. He practiced all week, and will be a game-time decision on whether he plays at Quad City. . . . Peoria signed former Kansas and IFL-af2 Peoria defensive back Gerald Neasman this week. The 5-11 Neasman has lost weight and looks in great shape at 202 pounds. . . . As of Thursday, the af2 had assigned back judge Gus Golembiewski and his crew to tonight's showdown in Quad City. That's the crew that incorrectly took away two TDs from Peoria in an opening night loss, later triggering a written apology to the Pirates from the league. . . . Former Washington State defensive back Chris Martin, traded by Peoria in the final preseason cut, is again a free agent and has returned to the Pirates camp. . . . The Pirates' red zone offense (within foes' 10) is No. 1, having clicked on 17 of 18 possessions. Quad City's red zone defense is No. 25 (allowed 16 of 19). . . . Quad City has seen three of its four games decided by three points or less. Peoria has two losses by a combined seven points.

Steamwheelers Look to Make Pirates Walk the Plank
 
When the Peoria Pirates step off the team bus at The MARK of the Quad Cities on Friday night, there will be a little more than just the Ruler of the River traveling trophy at stake. The trophy, which has spent the last year in Peoria, is just one of many things the Steamwheelers and Pirates will be competing for.
Over the last two years, the series is tied at two games apiece. In 2001, the Steamwheelers welcomed the Pirates to the af2 by handing them a 41-0 loss, the first shutout in arena football history. Later in 2001, the Wheelers knocked off the Pirates 45-7, capping off a 15-1 season, en route to their second ArenaCup.
However, things took a wretched twist in 2002. In the first meeting the Pirates defeated Quad City 81-56, snapping the Steamwheelers 17 game-winning streak. In June, the Pirates handed the Wheelers their first home loss in franchise history winning 67-43. Ironically, the team that has swept the two previous season series has gone on to win the ArenaCup championship.
Bragging rights will also be on the line as the teams renew the War on I-74, the Steamwheelers are 2-2 against the Pirates, the winner of Fridays game will have the upper edge in the overall record. The Wheelers have a losing record against only one other team in the af2, going 1-2 against Hawaii. The winner will take home the afore mentioned Ruler of the River trophy, featuring a pirate ship and steamboat colliding on the top.
More importantly, standings will play a huge factor in the game on Friday at The MARK. The Steamwheelers are currently 2-2 and in a first place tie in the Midwest division, the Pirates are 1-3 and one game back of first place. A Steamwheelers win would guarantee a first place slot in the standings, and a two game lead over the defending ArenaCup champions. A Pirate win would mean Peoria would leapfrog the Wheelers due to the head to head tie breaker.
Another intriguing aspect the game will be the head to head competition of two outstanding quarterbacks. Peoria will throw Charlie Peterson, a 63 gunslinger from Brigham Young University. Peterson leads the af2 in touchdowns tossing 21, and averages 235 yards per game. The Steamwheelers will fire back with Tony Zimmerman. Zimmerman is right behind Peterson with 20 scoring strikes, and 268 yards per game through the air.
The Steamwheelers are looking to go 1-0 in the division, which with the change in the playoff format is a big boost.
The easiest way to make the playoffs is to win the (Midwest) division, Steamwheelers quarterback Tony Zimmerman said. We have 7 of our 9 games coming against divisional opponents, we have to get this thing going, and keep it rolling.
Tickets for the War on I-74 are still available at The MARK box office, www.ticketmaster.com, or by calling (563) 324-1111. The first 3,000 fans to enter The MARK will receive a complementary steam whistle courtesy of Valley Bank.

Steamwheelers sign player cut by Peoria
Craig DeVrieze APRIL30th

The Quad-City SteamWheelers might have ratcheted up the intensity of Fridays battle with Peoria at The Mark of the Quad-Cities. Tuesday they signed a player who was cut by the Pirates earlier in the week.

Defensive specialist Sidney Lewis, who reportedly was cut after challenging Peoria coach Bruce Cowdrey in a team meeting on Sunday night, was claimed off waivers by the
SteamWheelers.

Lewis was one of two defensive specialists signed to bolster an ailing
SteamWheelers defensive backfield.

Also signed was Leo FenceRoy, a rookie speedster from NAIA Sioux Falls University.

One will replace Lee Wiggins in the lineup. Wiggins is expected to be placed on short-term injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury Saturday in Bakersfield, Calif.

Lewis won an NCAA Division II national championship at Grand Valley State University last fall, topping
SteamWheelers coach Rich Ingolds alma mater, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, along the way.

Ingold said he considered signing the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Lewis during the offseason on the recommendation of his college coaches. After talking with the player, he told Lewis to finish school this spring and then to contact the
SteamWheelers.

Instead, Cowdrey signed Lewis to start the season.

He got me on that one, Ingold said.

Cowdrey might argue the point.

Lewis played in four games for the 1-3 Pirates and was involved in altercations in two of them. He would have been ejected after a brawl in a 53-9 April 19 win over Columbus in Peoria, but the officials called the wrong number in announcing the ejection.

At the end of Fridays 54-50 loss in Louisville, Lewis was involved in an altercation with Louisville quarterback Josh Rogers. The resulting scrum required police to separate the combatants.

 I have seen what happened on film, Ingold said of an incident that got Lewis fined by the league Tuesday. Thats just something that happens in football.

He said he is comfortable having Lewis on board with the
Wheelers.

I got to know the kid through the recruiting process, and I like him, Ingold said. I am into giving guys a second chance.

The
SteamWheelers roster now numbers 25, so Ingold will have to release at least one player in the next day or two.
