Jun 2, 2002
Jacobe
Austin ran for two touchdowns and caught a scoring pass, his biggest
score being a 6-yard run with 12 seconds left to give the Louisiana
Rangers a 69-65 victory over the Winston-Salem Energy in an NIFL
contest Saturday night.
It was the second straight cardiac win on the road for the Rangers,
who won at Houma, 50-43, on the last play of the game last week.

Bucks
don’t let Dogs out, end skid
Jun 2, 2002
The
Houma Bayou Bucks may want to play the Mississippi FireDogs more
than two times a season.
The Bucks (3-7) won their first-ever road game and completed a season
sweep of the FireDogs with a 31-22 win at the Mississippi Coast
Coliseum Saturday night. The Bucks beat the FireDogs 26-7 on May
5. <more>

Dogs
lose to Houma
Jun 2, 2002
After
spotting Houma a 12-0 halftime lead, Mississippi pulled to within
two points before turnovers left the Fire Dogs at the losing end
of a 31-22 loss before an estimated crowd of 750 at the Mississippi
Coast Coliseum.
"The turnovers were definitely momentum stoppers," said Stu Rayburn,
offensive coordinator for the Fire Dogs. "The defense played well
up to that point and really all game. It's frustrating."

Versatile
Austin key for Rangers
Jun 1, 2002
Jacobe
Austin is listed as a running back on the Louisiana NIFL roster,
but that description doesn't begin to cover what he does for the
Rangers on game day.
Sure, he sometimes lines up at both deep back and fullback in the
Rangers' offense, and is the team's second-leading rusher.
But you will also often find him at receiver, where he is the team's
top pass-catching threat, and as the deep man on kicks, since he
is one of the top return men in the National Indoor Football League.

Bucks
banned but they'll play on
Jun 1, 2002
The
rivalry between the Mississippi Fire Dogs and the Houma Bayou Bucks
has taken a wacky twist heading into today's game at 7 p.m. at the
Mississippi Coast Coliseum.
Fire Dogs offensive coordinator Stu Rayburn said Mississippi will
use the revenge factor since the Bucks defeated the Fire Dogs 24-15
on May 5. The Bucks (2-7) will counter with a bit of their own revenge
after being banned from the 2002 playoffs.
Houma is banned from postseason play for using former Fire Dogs
players Derrick Taite of Moss Point and Stacy Wilson in a 50-43
loss to Alexandria last week without a proper release.

Bucks want
no more drama from Dogs
Jun 1, 2002
Today’s game between the Mississippi FireDogs and

have dropped three straight. The last win the Bucks had came on
May 5 against the FireDogs in the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
