On Saturday, the River City Gators lost to the Pacifica Islanders 26-21. The end of the Gators' winning streak came after many players participated in the UFL's open tryout for the Sacramento Mountain Lions. Despite leading 7-6 in the second quarter and 21-19 late in the game, the Gators defense was unable to stop the powerful Islanders offense. Gators quarterback Blake Mori made several poor decisions that resulted in turnovers. His arm looked burned out from the Mountain Lions tryout. He barely threw warm-up passes before the game. During the game, he misread several defensive schemes and often failed to check his three and four receivers. Oftentimes during the game, it appeared as thou

On Saturday, May 1st, the River City Gators extended their winning treat to 5-0 by defeating Oakland's Nor Cal Lawmen 30-7 on the road.  The game was played in what can perhaps most simply be described as a hostile environment.  "It's difficult enough being on the road," one player said, as heckles from the crowd turned into personal attacks.  NCFL Chairman Jason Kang expressed unhappiness with the lack of crowd control and security. Let's get a few things straight.  The central part of Oakland, off Broadway and near Oakland Technical High School, is an area I would prefer not to travel through alone at night.  I arrived on scene at 12:30pm and had a number of wonderful interactions with
