Pittsburgh Power Updates

The Pittsburgh Power have begun to set up their 2012 roster by making a few signings. 

Officially back in the mix are Mike "The Joystick" Washington (WR) , Bryan Williams (DB), Bill Stull (QB), and Tyrell Herbert (DB/LB).

Although not quite official yet, I've heard that Lonnell DeWalt (WR/LB) and Anthony DeGrate (LB) will be returning to the team as well.  OL/DL Mike Byrne is close to signing as well.

DeWalt was a huge impact player on offense AND defense, and should have won the AFL Ironman Award, but sadly, the award seems to go to the best special teams player in the league rather than someone who truly plays both ways.  I'm excited to see he is back to mix it up for the Black and Gold.

It will be interesting to see if the Power make a big splash by signing some big name talent who played for other AFL teams last year.  Who knows, maybe the next big thing for the Power reads this blog.

If you think YOU have the skills necessary to be an AFL player, here's your chance!

The Pittsburgh Power are holding open tryouts to make the team.  Anyone with the passion, determination, and desire should check out this link for all the exact details.   Maybe I'll see if they are holding open PA announcer auditions for this year.  It might be worth the 75 dollar fee!

The Sparks will be having tryouts for the 2012 squad coming up soon as well. 

It's not too late to save 10% off season tickets for the 2012 season.  Call 888-769-2011 for more info or go to the team's official website for more info.
