Ben Mauk completed 18 of 28 passes for 201 yards and six touchdowns as the Cincinnati Commandos cruised into the CIFL Championship Game with a 48-24 win against the Miami Valley Silverbacks Friday night at the Cincinnati Gardens.
Cincinnati took advantage of Miami Valley mistakes to build a 21-0 first quarter lead, and the Silverbacks could never pull closer than 16 points thereafter. After Cincinnati scored on the opening possession of the game, James Spikes recovered a botched snap on Miami Valley’s first play from scrimmage and Ray Jackson scored one play later to make it 13-0. A mishandled snap on a field goal attempt by Miami Valley set up a 1-yard touchdown from Mauk to Johnny Long to push Cincinnati’s advantage to three touchdowns.
Even without leading receiver Dominick Goodman, who is now playing in Germany with the Dresden Monarchs, and leading rusher Greg Moore, who had a UFL tryout, the Commandos managed to roll up 256 yards of offense, with Brandon Boehm, Robert Redd, and Long all hauling in a pair of touchdown passes.
Chris Stanford completed 9 of 18 passes for 89 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 48 yards and a score in his first professional start in place of injured Silverbacks quarterback Kyenes Mincy.
The Commandos will host the winner of Saturday’s Fort Wayne FireHawks at Wisconsin Wolfpack semifinal in the CIFL Championship Game at the Cincinnati Gardens next Saturday, July 26. |

The 2010 CIFL playoffs kickoff tonight in Cincinnati, Ohio as the Miami Valley Silverbacks battle the Cincinnati Commandos. Cincinnati won both meetings this season, with the most recent, a 58-50 win that saw the Silverbacks erase a 32-6 halftime deficit.
The FireHawks came up one yard short of defeating the Wolfpack on their home turf on May 1st. A goal line stop by Kurt Ware as time expired preserved the 33-32 victory over a FireHawks team that was shutout by Wisconsin 49-0 two weeks earlier. Game time is 8pm ET on Saturday night.
The winners of the games this weekend will play for the 5th CIFL Championship next weekend at the arena of the highest remaining seed at 8pm.
Both games will have live stats in the CIFL GameCenter along with live game audio on the CIFL Radio Network, also available in the GameCenter. The playoffs will be the debut of the new live stat application, a significant upgrade over the original output. |

Fort Wayne FireHawks 48 - Chicago Cardinals 0
Click for game stats Thomas McKenzie set a single-game CIFL record with 5.5 sacks in his first game with Fort Wayne, leading the FireHawks to a 48-0 win against the Chicago Cardinals to conclude the CIFL regular season Saturday night at the Odeum Sports Complex in Villa Park, Ill. Broderick Johnson added 3.5 sacks and when David Hines forced quarterback Gabriel Baker to fumble with 12 seconds remaining, the FireHawks tied the single-game sack record of 9 set by the Lehigh Valley Outlaws in 2006. The FireHawks scored five of their seven touchdowns on returns by the defense and special teams. Terry Moore started the scoring with a 48-yard interception return 1:22 into the game. Tramaine Billie returned a missed field goal and an interception for a touchdown, Brandon Williams had a fumble return for a touchdown, and Mike Tatum returned another missed field goal for a touchdown. McKenzie and Tatum are two of the players who came to Fort Wayne after the Marion Mayhem ceased operations, helping the FireHawks record the sixth shutout in CIFL history and second this season. The win improves Fort Wayne to 6-4 as the FireHawks enter the CIFL playoffs as the No. 3 seed. Fort Wayne will travel to play the No. 2 seed Wisconsin Wolfpack (8-2) at Hartmeyer Arena in Madison on Saturday, June 19. The top-seeded Cincinnati Commandos (9-1) will host the No. 4 seed Miami Valley Silverbacks (4-6) in the other playoff game at the Cincinnati Gardens on Friday, June 18. The Cardinals finish the 2010 season with an 0-10 record. Download 2010 Playoff Rosters (All rosters in one PDF File) |
