Dayton Silverbacks Battle the Sting in Saginaw for 2012 CIFL Title
The 2012 CIFL season is drawing to a close and this season a new CIFL champion will be crowned as the league's two time defending champion, the Cincinnati Commandos, did not compete in the CIFL in 2012. This season, the team that wins it all could be the former traveling team for the league, the Dayton Silverbacks. The Silverbacks have improved steadily the past few seasons and have earned the right to compete in the CIFL title game both this season and last. The Silverbacks are a very hard team to cheer against for many CIFL fans as they have been through more than plenty while being member of the league, primarily playing year after year as a team with no home football field. But that has changed and the Silverbacks have risen to the top of the CIFL heap while finally enjoying the comforts and benefits of actually playing a few home football games in Ohio.

All bets are off on this one as the Sting have returned to the CIFL in 2012 to crash the Dayton championship party. While the Sting did take a few year hiatus from the CIFL, they are back and out out for blood this season, piling up 8 straight wins against 0 loses to secure a spot in the title game.

The last time the Sting competed in the CIFL they defeated the Kalamazoo Xplosion in Kalamazoo to win the Continental Indoor Football League title, and this season they appear poised to compete hard for the championship hardware. The Silverbacks have always played with a huge amount of heart, and soon it will be time to see if Dayton actually has the weapons to compete for the title with undefeated Sting. The CIFL championship game between the Saginaw Sting and the Dayton Silverbacks will be played in Saginaw, at Draper Auto Field, on June 2nd, 2012.

Former Raptor Wogomon Not Enough as Chicago Falls to Marion at the Odeum 19-14

Former Brandon Wogomon runs to daylight.

Brandon Wogomon breaks into the open field but Chicago would eventually fall to the Mayhem 19-14.

Former Rock River Raptor all purpose player Brandon Wogomon was not enough for the Cardinals as Marion rolled into Villa Park and created a bit too much Mayhem for Chicago inside the friendly confines of the Odeum.  While you will not find too many Chicago highlights please don't forget to checkout these football action photos from this Continental Indoor Football League tilt.

razor is going down an he does not get up...

Razor holds the ball too long and ends up out for the season with a busted collar bone on this Silverback sack for a  safety.

Super action photos from this CIFL game are now located in the 2010 CIFL Game Action Galleries. Wisconsin QB  Razor R. was knocked out of this April 04, 2010 game early, but the Wolfpack would hang ion to win this very close CIFL tilt in Madison, Wisconsin anyway. Thousands and thousands of football action photos can be accessed from the main gallery page and this Miami Valley vs. Wisconsin gallery is located here.

CIFLPhotos.com Closes Permanently

CIFL Image Update:

CIFLPhotos.com has been closed permanently while CIFLPIx.com remains open. The original CIFLPhotos.com blog and gallery site had some great content for sure - but due to persistent latency issues and the existence of the speedy CIFLPix.com and RockRiverFootball.com sites I have decided to close the CIFLPhotos.com site forever. It won't be back again...it's content has been removed from the servers.

CIFLPix.com and CIFLPhotos.com Reopen For Viewing!

Since I hate to see so many great football action and cheer shots get lost in the dark I have decided to reopen both of my CIFL photo sites for viewing --> at least temporarily. Please note that myself, the sites, and my freelance staff and are no longer affiliated with the CIFL so what you see is what you get...about 5000 cheer and action shots from the past few CIFL seasons shot by excellent photographers. Do remember that all of the photo copyrights are held by the photographers and you can contact me if you have any questions, comments, or specific image requests.

Enjoy!

MinoltaMan Closes Down CIFLPix.com and CIFLPhotos.com

After two successful and productive seasons I have decided to close down the two CIFL photo sites and resign my position as the Director of Photography for the CIFL. While I have enjoyed much of my time as the director, and I was supported greatly by my team of freelance photographers, in the end a lack of support at times from the CIFL front office makes this gig an impossible gig for me to continue doing. To be brutally honest, not many fans have been showing up in the CIFL cities the past year or so...so who knows how many people are still actually interested in seeing the CIFL's "Better Brand of Football" anyway?

A great big thanks to all of the photo contributors that helped make the CIFL photo sites such great successes! I wish all of the shooters the very best of luck in the future! To the players, coaches, fans, and families that have been following my indoor football coverage since 2006...thank you very, very, much for taking the time to make so many visits to this and my other indoor football sites! You are the ones that make doing this gig so worthwhile!

In the future I will be migrating some of my 2009 and 2010 content from the old CIFL sites to this site, and do be sure to check back to see what great players, coaches, cheerleaders, and dancers come to these pages next!

Take care people...that's a wrap!
