RATTLED THE RATTLERS, KNIGHT HAWKS WIN 56-42

Arizona’s Ron Brown Jr. rushed in for the first touchdown of the game, giving the Rattlers a 7-0 lead just three minutes into the contest. Vegas would answer with two straight rushing scores of their own: one from Josh Tomas and the other from Quentin Randolph. This gave Vegas a 14-7 lead at the start of the second.

Arizona and Vegas enter the 2nd quarter neck to neck. Both teams completed two rushing touchdowns, then DeShon Stoudemire took back the lead with 7 seconds to go. The Knight Hawks take charge at 28-21.

Both teams traded touchdowns throughout the third: Max Meylor and Arland Bruce for the Rattlers, and two touchdowns by Tomas for Vegas. 

Tempers flared between Mike Davis and Kevin Guy, leading to an ejection of Guy from the field. Chippiness aside, Vegas scores two more touchdowns from De Laura and Stoudemire. Clifton Duck ends the game with a huge interception, to finalize the game at 56-42 VKH.

The Knight Hawks head into a bye week before playing the Orlando Pirates on the road. The game is set for a 4 p.m. PT kickoff on Monday, May 18th and will be available to watch on Yahoo! Sports.
