Florida Scorpions in town on Saturday

The Koyotes will be playing this weekend April 26th at 7:05pm in Landon Arena at the Kansas Expocentre.  The Florida Scorpions (formerly nicknamed the Knights) will be the opponent.  The Scorpions are a transfer from the now defunct National Indoor Football League (NIFL).  Ironically, the NIFL was the intended league for the Koyotes until shaky leadership led them to the more regional APFL.  The Florida team is a bit of an unknown since this will be their first game in the APFL.  However, they are expected to be as most football teams in Florida tend to be – full of plenty of size and speed. 

Thanks,

Ted E. Adams
Vice President
Kansas Koyotes, Professional Indoor Football Team
