The month of June has settled in as everyone is battling for jocking position in their respective playoff races. Seven games, all with important implication were played Saturday night for a fun-packed night of AFL.
Philadelphia Soul 59, Pittsburgh Power 21
The Soul looked for a season split with their Keystone rivals, while the Power were in desperate need of a win in order to keep slim hope alive in the east and to better their chances in the American Conference wild card race. This one was all Philadelphia from the getgo.
Derek Cassidy's second start didn't go anywhere near as well as his first one did. In three possessions he completed just two of eight passes for twelve yards and two interceptions, resulting in an early hook by Derek Stingley. The Soul capitalized on the Power's early offensive struggles and the first quarter turned into the Derrick Ross show. On Philadelphia's third play Ross scored on a two-yard touchdown run, and a couple of series later he scored on an eleven-yard screen pass to make it 14-0. After David Richardson recorded the second interception of Cassidy, Derrick Ross caught another screen pass, reveresed field, and hurdled Sergio Gilliam to score a fourteen-yard touchdown. Shane Austin entered the game with two minutes left in the period, but misfired on his first three attempts whoch left Pittsburgh with a fourth and ten from their own two to begin the second quarter. Julian Ruach's 64-yard field missed by going out of play and a pair of completions by Dan Raudabaugh setup a fourth-and-one. Derrick Ross entered the game eight yards shy of breaking the AFL career rushing record, he recorded seven yards in the first and would claim the record with a ten-yard scamper that gained a first down. Raudabaugh found Ryan McDaniel for a elevan-yard score to extend the lead to 28-0. Both defense traded stops before the Power finally scored their first points if the evening on Julian Talley's 30-yard touchdown. Raudabaugh led the Soul on another, efficent drive ended the half on Carlos Martinez's 25-yard field goal. Philadelphia received the opening kick of the third quarter and cashed in on the first play when Dan Raudabaugh connected with Ryan McDaniel for a 45-yard touchdown. Pittsburgh quickly answered back with a three-play scoring drive capped with a 20-yard touchdown by Julian Talley. Raudabaugh responded with three straight completions to Tiger Jones, the third of which a seven-yard score. The Soul put the game away in the next 90 seconds when Rayshaun Kizer made an interception on Shane Austin's next pass and Andrae Thurman hauled-in a five-yard touchdown on second and goal to make the lead 52-14. To add insult to injury, McDaniel made a net recovery on the ensuing kickoff and Tiger Jones caught his second seven-yard touchdown to complete a four-play drive. Mike Washington provided a final spark for the black and gold when he hauled-in a 40-yard touchdown to end the third quarter and stood as the final points of the night. The Soul dominated their in-state rivals to earn a 59-21 road win that all, but officially clinches the east. Derrick Ross is now the AFL all-time leader in career rushing yards

Orlando Predators 62, Cleveland Gladiators 55
Both of these teams are fixed in the tight battle at for the four seed in the American Conference wild card race. Who could come away with a big win in the Jungle? NOTE: Play-by-Play was unavailable for this game, so the recap will be brief.
The Predators and Gladiators traded blows in the first half, that ended on T.T. Toliver's seven-yard touchdown grab which gave Orlando a 34-28 lead at the half. The Preds broke the game open with a pair of defensive stops, a one-yard touchdown by Mykel Benson, and Toliver's 49-yard reception in the first seven minutes of the third quarter. Cleveland quickly responded with a 23-yard score by Dominick Goodman to cut the deficit back to within reach. It looked like the game was safely in the hands of Orlando when Aaron Garcia found Jason Geathers for a 27-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter to extend the lead to 55-35; but the Gladiators weren't done just yet. Chris Dieker had a couple quick completions, finding Goodman for a fifteen-yard touchdown to get the Glads within thirteen. Then on the ensuing kickoff Aaron Pettrey snuck in an onside attempt that upon review was legally recovered by Cleveland. The margin was trimmed to seven when Dieker aired-out a 29-yarder to Thyron Lewis with ten minutes left to play. Garcia and the Predators went on a lengthy drive, put were denied inside the red zone thanks to a strong stand by the Gladiator secondary. Chris Dieker then took his opportunity and directed the tying scoring drive that he finished with a fourteen-yard strike to Thyron Lewis; Pettrey's extra point tied the game at 55 with three minutes remaining. When it looked like the Predators may have let this one slip away, the wiley old veteran Aaron Garcia still had something to say. Garcia efficently guided Orlando down the field in the final minutes and with three seconds left he fired a five-yard pass into the hands of Prechae Rodriguez who held on to make the game-winning touchdown. Carlese Franklin, who returned an earlier kick for a score, was stacked up at his own five-yard line and brought down as time expired to allow the Predators to escape in their own Jungle with a 62-55 win. With their second consecutive win, Orlando moves to 4-8 and maintains sole possession of the second wild card in the American Conference; while Cleveland becomes the first team to ten losses this year as they drop to 2-10.

New Orleans VooDoo 54, Tampa Bay Storm 51
A key south division meeting between the Storm and VooDoo took place in the Graveyard. Tampa Bay entered looking to gain ground on the division-leading Sharks, while New Orleans is trying to steal a playoff spot.
New Orleans was the more desparate team and it showed in the opening stages of the game when Cameron McGlenn intercepted Adrian McPherson's third pass. On the next play, Kurt Rocco completed a 21-yard touchdown to Quorey Payne to begin the night's scoring. McPherson got things going on the next possession, using his arm and legs to engineer a seven-play scoring drive that resulted in Chris Davis' five-yard touchdown grab. Rocco answered his counterpart by leading a six-play drive that was capped off with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Nyere Aumaitre. The VooDoo created some space when McGlenn recorded his second pick of the night and returned it to Tampa Bay's four-yard line, where Rocco found Courtney Smith for a four-yard score. Adrian McPherson scored two touchdown runs and Kurt Rocco threw two more touchdown passes over the next four possessions to field a 33-20 New Orleans lead with 37 seconds left in the first half. The half couldn't have ended any sooner for the Storm, as on a second down from their own twenty McPherson was injured and did not return. New Orleans extended their lead to its largest margin of the game when Rocco and Donovan Morgan connected for a six-yard touchdown with 8:39 left in the third quarter. Randy Hippeard took a couple of possessions to find his groove but was just getting started by completing four straight passes on the next drive, finding Joe Hills for a one-yard score. A string of four straight rushing touchdowns were scored, Hippeard's second one made it a sixteen-point game with 10:41 in the fourth. On the ensuing kickoff New Orleans recovered Juan Bongarra's second onside kick, but the game took a wild turn when Jean Fanor intercepted Rocco at the Storm-five and returned it for a touchdown; cutting the lead to ten. The game continued to swing Tampa Bay's way when Kurt Rocco got a cold-touch and threw four straight incompletions and Randy Hippeard aired out a 23-yard score to Michael Lindsey on the next play. All of a sudden, a comfortable sixteen-point lead was chopped to three with three minutes to play. Tampa Bay kicked it deep, but all their momentum was sucked away when Kurt Rocco and the VooDoo answered the bell with an eight-play drive that consumed all of the remaining time to preserve a must-have 54-51 win.

San Antonio Talons 61, Chicago Rush 54
The Talons and Rush squared off in a decisive central division meeting in Rockford, Illinois. With the strength of the National Conference the three teams in the central are most-likely going to have to rely on the division crown as their only ticket to the 2013 playoffs; making this a huge game for each side amidst this tight race.
Rohan Davey saw his first action since week two by making his first start of the season; becoming the fifth different starting quarterback for San Antonio this year. Davey showed no signs of rust in the early going as he completed his first seven passes, which included an eight-yard touchdown to Brent Holmes on the opening drive. Reggie Gray returned the ensuing kickoff 42 yards and caught a nine-yard score three plays later on the Rush's opening possession. Rohan Davey got off to a hot start with his arm, but used his legs on a four-yard scamper to cap off San Antonio's second drive. Joe Sykes and Jamar Ransom combined for a second-down sack and Carson Coffman misfired on his next two passes to end Chicago's second series in a turnover on downs. Brent Holmes took a shovel pass and sprinted into the end zone for a fifteen-yard touchdown run on the next play to create the first bit of space on the night. Reggie Gray had another solid return which setup a 30-yard touchdown by Jared Jenkins to begin the second quarter. With the change of the quarter Davey briefly cooled off, throwing back-to-back incompletions before being picked off by Vic Hall on a deep ball. Coffman answered with an eight-play scoring drive of his own that ended on J.J. Payne's two-yard touchdown run. Jomo Wilson hauled-in a seventeen-yard score and Payne scored his ran in his second touchdown on the ensuing possessions to give the Talons a halftime lead of 28-27. Jorrick Calvin opened the second half with an electric 36-yard return that, despite a number of penalties, setup J.J. Payne's third touchdown of the game. Rohan Davey led a ten-play, six-plus minute drive on his first possession of the half, but came up empty on three straight passes from the Chicago-three. Carson Coffman completed three of four passes, the third of which a 22-yard touchdown to DJ Woods that gave the Rush a 40-28 lead entering the fourth. Brent Holmes started what would be an epic fourth quarter for the Talons with a 28-yard kick return and a 26-yard touchdown grab in the first 60 seconds of the period. Rohan Davey led an eight-play, 42-yard drive that resulted in Jomo Wilson's elevan-yard touchdown, which countered a twelve-yard score by Reggie Gray. The Rush got a quick spark when Jorrick Calvin returned the ensuing kickoff 48 yards for a touchdown to push the lead back to twelve with 6:28 left to play. The spark was short-lived, as Brent Holmes had another big return of his own and Wilson hauled-in a 31-yard strike to pull the Talons back within five. San Antonio trusted its defense by kicking it deep, and they stood up to the task by making a massive goal-line stand to keep it a five-point with 42 seconds in the fourth. On second down from his own six, Rohan Davey connected with Jomo Wilson on a 44-yard touchdown to give San Antonio a 55-54 lead with 28 seconds remaining. Both quarterbacks exchanged interceptions during a nineteen-second span taht gave Chicago one, final chance to snatch victory. Fittingly so, Carson Coffman's hail mary was intercepted by Fred Shaw who put the icing on the cake by returning it 46 yards to the house to cement a 61-54 road win for the Talons.

Iowa Barnstormers 73, San Jose Sabercats 68
The Barnstormers played host to San Jose this past week, knowing that a loss would put an effective end to any playoff push. Could Iowa come out on top in a close game, or would it be another heartbreak in week thirteen?
The night started off good for the 'Stormers when Fred Williams fumbled the opening kickoff and on the next play J.J. Raterink found Jesse Schmidt for a twelve-yard touchdown. After the following kickoff sailed out of bounds, Russ Michna answered with a quick, two-play drive that tied the game on Jason Willis' 22-yard scoring grab. Williams' fumble on the opening kick remained the only difference in what resembled a good old fashioned AFL-shootout. Raterink and Michna traded three touchdown passes and each offense traded a rushing touchdown over the course of the first half, leading to a 35-35 game with 28 seconds left before the break. J.J. Raterink then completed three passes for 34 yards to get Iowa to the Sabercat-11 with three seconds to go. Fabrizio Scaccia was called on and drilled a 27-yard field goal as time expired to complete a perfect offensive half for the Barnstormers, while giving them a three-point advantage at the intermission. The scoring picked up right where it left off when Raterink completed all three of his passes on the opening drive of the third quarter that gave Iowa its largest lead of the night on Marco Thomas' 23-yard touchdown. Russ Michna and the 'Cats answered back with a sound four-play drive that cut the margin to four on Huey Whittaker's nine-yard grab. Marco Thomas and Jason Willis continued to have their own receiver duel, each led their team in catches and yards; while grabbing five scores, as Thomas hauled-in a 45-yard catch-and-run touchdown and Willis found himself wide-open in the middle of the Iowa end zone on the next series. The third quarter finished with Raterink connecting with Marcus Harris on a 39-yard hook-and-go and Michna finding Willis for a 21-yard score. The fourth quarter began with San Jose kicking off, and this time the ball would bounce their as Nich Pertuit's kick took a favorable bounce off the net and Clevan Thomas made the net recovery. Just when it looked like the Sabercats would snatch their first lead of the night, the Barnstormer defense said otherwise. On second-and-goal at the one, Huey Whittaker fumbled a handoff and Jason Simpson recovered to secure a 59-55 lead for Iowa. J.J. Raterink and the 'Stormers responded with a ten-play, seven-minute drive that got the lead to up to eleven on Marco Thomas' eleven-yard touchdown. Russ Michna kept the Sabercats in striking distance by completing four of five passes on the ensuing drive that concluded on a six-yard touchdown by Whittaker; the two-point conversion failed. Iowa recovered Pertuit's onside kick and Jesse Schmidt hauled-in his second twelve-yard grab to make it a 73-61 lead with 1:56 remaining. San Jose wasn't done just yet, Fred Williams broke wide-open down the field and caught a 35-yard score from Michna on the very next play to quickly cut the margin back to five 80 seconds to play. Iowa recovered the ensuing onside kick and took the clock down to the one-minute warning, but Raterink had has roughest stretch of the night by throwing consecutive incompletions before being intercepted by Clevan Thomas in the end zone with 46 seconds left. San Jose had one more chance to steal this one and again looked poised to after three completions by Russ Michna moved the ball to Iowa's eight-yard line with 20 seconds to work. The Barnstormer defense rose to the challenge and locked into their tightest man coverage of the season which drew three straight incompletions and setup a fourth and goal from their eight. Would it be yet another heartbreak for the Barnstormers, or would things be different? On fourth and goal, Michna took the snap and fired a pass that was redirected when John Mohring got a piece of the pass, sending it harmlessly to the ground and securing a season-saving win for the Barnstormers. With San Antonio's win, Iowa fully capitalized on the opportunity and now the entire central division is within one game of each other. San Jose has now lost two of three and have to begin to look over their should in the wild card race.

Arizona Rattlers 59, Spokane Shock 42
The Shock and Rattlers were prepared to duel for the second time this season, in what appeared would be another wild western classic. In order for Spokane to have any hope of winning the west, they would need to earn a season sweep in the snake pit.
Both offenses came out firing on all cylinders on their first couple possessions. Nick Davila hit Rod Windsor for a fifteen-yard touchdown to start the scoring, but Terrance Sanders returned the ensuing kick 52 yards to setup a one-yard touchdown run by Erik Meyer four plays later. After each offense traded touchdowns again, Odie Armstrong punched in his second touchdown run to put Arizona back ahead with 13:14 in the second quarter. The Rattler defense was the first to stand up and make a stop, when after a holding call dented Spokane's third drive and Meyer misfired on three straight passes. Davila directed a nine-play, five-and-half minute drive that gave Arizona a ten-point lead with Garrett Lindholm's seventeen-yard field goal. Erik Meyer got the Shock back within one-score by leading an eight-play drive that was capped off with Kamar Jorden's seven-yard touchdown. Arizona recovered an ensuing onside kick, Rod Windsor hauled-in another touchdown, and the Rattler defense made another stop to take a ten-point lead into the break. Spokane had a chance to cut the lead back to three on the first possession of the third quarter , but threw it away when Meyer's first pass was intercepted by Virgil Gray. Nick Davila found Kerry Reed for a crucial third-down completion and Windsor for a five-yard touchdown to stretch the lead to seventeen. Just when it looked like it would be a runaway, Erik Meyer and the Shock flexed their muscle. Over an eight-minute span Meyer completed five straight passes, two of them were touchdowns to Adron Tennell. The defense earned its first stop by forcing a turnover downs in-between Tennell's scores to make it a 38-35 game with 3:27 to go in the third. The Rattlers settled thing down with a five-play, 43-yard drive on the next possession that concluded with a four-yard touchdown catch by Trandon Harvey. It was Spokane's turn to answer at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but just like they did in the third were unable to on a turnover on downs. Arizona got the lead back up to seventeen when Davila fired a five-yard strike to Kerry Reed. Spokane needed to answer, but once again were denied as the Arizona defense was stingy in forcing another turnover on downs with 8:21 to play. Nick Davila then led a five-play drive that he completed with a nine-yard touchdown to Trandon Harvey to put the Rattlers up by 24 to put the game away. Adron Tennell capped of a dominant performance with a four-yard touchdown in the final minute, but it had no effect as the Rattlers rolled to a ninth-straight win and a season split with their western rivals. With the 59-42 win Arizona remains unbeaten at home, avenged their only loss of the season, and clinched a playoff berth.

Utah Blaze 62, Jacksonville Sharks 55
Week thirteen's game on CBS Sports Network featured two teams who have struggled in the past month and were starting new quarterbacks. Jason Boltus would make his first career AFL start for Utah, while Kyle Rowley made his Sharks debut in his first action since week six.
It didn't take long for the Blaze faithful to get popping, as Josh Ferguson returned the opening kick to Jacksonville's one-yard line and Jason Boltus' first snap was his own number on a one-yard QB-sneak for a touchdown. Kyle Rowley didn't get off to as good of start, getting sacked on third down and fumbling on fourth on his first series. Boltus and the Blaze took advantage of another short field and on third and goal Anthon Jackson caught a nine-yard score. Rowley got things going on his second series, completing two of three passes' which included a 31-yard touchdown to Jeron Harvey. Jason Boltus continued his hot start by throwing two more touchdown passes in the first, a 45-yarder to Braylon Bell gave Utah a 28-14 lead heading into the second quarter. Kyle Rowley quickly responded with a 37-yard touchdown to Jeron Harvey, his third of the game, on the third play of the period. The Shark defense finally forced the young quarterback into a mistake on the ensuing drive when Boltus threw a ball into a tight window and Terrance Smith made the interception. The mistake would be all for none, as Tony Tatum would pick-off Rowley three plays later and Chase Deadder took a receiver sweep in for a two-yard touchdown. The Blaze created some space when their defense came away with another turnover on downs and Braylen Bell caught a nineteen-yard touchdown to make it 42-20 at the half. Not much changed in a low-scoring third quarter that saw each quarterback throw an interception and a touchdown in the period. On the first play of the fourth, Josh Philpart scampered six yards into the endzone to cap off a five-play scoring drive in what would be a high scoring period for the Sharks. Jamaal Fudge then intercepted Boltus on the next possession and Philpart scored another rushing touchdown to make it 48-41 with eight minutes to play. Jason Boltus rose to the challenge with back-to-back completions to Braylen Bell, with a nine-yard pass giving the Blaze a two-score lead. Kyle Rowley then led a six-play, 40-yard drive that Mat Marcorelle capped off with a
one-yard touchdown run. Utah recovered the ensuing onside kick and Mario Urrutia brought in a four-yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining to push the lead back to fourteen. Jacksonville needed two scores in a short amount of time, but hampered their own comeback hope with a five-play, 44-second drive that ended on Markee White's eighteen-yard touchdown. Utah successfully recovered another onside kick and ran out the final eight seconds to keep their playoff hopes alive with a 62-55 home victory. Jason Boltus played very well in his first start, while Jacksonville stays in first in the south thanks to Tampa Bay's loss.

Week 13 Players
of the Week
Offensive Player of the Week: J.J. Raterink, Iowa
QB
- J.J. Raterink was absolutly fantastic in week 13. He completed 33 of 44 passes for 376 yards and nine touchdowns in leading Iowa to a huge and season-saving win. He did throw an interception, but that still wasn't enough to mark up his best performance of the season.
Defensive Player of the Week: Vic Hall, Chicago
DB
- Vic Hall was a one-man wrecking crew on the defensive side of the ball for the Rush. Hall recorded 12 tackles and two interceptions in the Rush's 61-54 loss. Despite the loss Chicago still holds sole possession of first place in the central, but with six weeks to play a one-game lead is nowhere near safe.
Playmaker of the Week: Marco Thomas, Iowa
WR
- The Barnstormers had a massive 73-68 win over San Jose that featured big games from J.J. Raterink and Marco Thomas in week 13. Thomas was unable to be stopped all night long, catching 15 passes for 165 yards and five touchdowns; and even adding a rushing score to bring his total to six. Marco Thomas has flown under the radar all season long, but his week 13 performance rightfully earned him the Playmaker of the Week award.
