This is the third installment of my series of articles on team’s the Sarasota Millionaires will play this season in the Florida Football Alliance. Today a look at the Orlando Rage, who won their second straight SSFL Championship game last May and have now joined the FFA for the upcoming 2009/10 season.
The following historical background on the Rage printed courtesy of http://www.orlandorage.com
“The Orlando Rage evolved from the brainchild of football fan, Andrew G. Haines, and his desire to give himself and many others the coveted "Second Chance" at playing the greatest sport on earth; Football. In 2000 Andrew put together the Orlando Starz Semi-Pro Football team in Orlando.
Unbeknownst to Andrew, Rockledge businessman and former professional football player, Michael Shannon, had already embarked on Andrew's journey in establishing a Semi-Pro football team in Central Florida known as the Orlando (Space Coast) Panthers.
It wasn't long before the two met up with one another and started playing head-to-head.
Along came current Rage owners, Chris Morrison and Randy Horn who saw that beating up on each-other each year wasn't productive, but JOINING one-another was. Hence, the Orlando Rage was created.
In its nine years of existence the Rage-consisting of former Starz, Panthers, and newcomers-has amassed a better-than 83 percent winning percentage, three Division Champions, the Commissioner's Cup, five SSFL Hall-of-Fame Inductees, the first ever Television Contract and an SSFL Championship.
All of these were done while placing well over two dozen players into Professional and Collegiate football programs.”
Congratulations to Rage Quarterback PeeJay Jack who has signed a letter of intent to play professional football with the Anchorage Wild of the newly formed Indoor Football League (IFL). Jack was inducted into the SSFL Hall of Fame in 2008 and lead the Rage to 2 consecutive championships.
