Nine Former Racine Raiders Players Signed to CIFL Contracts

MLN - THE RAW FEED - www.mlntherawfeed.com – Racine, WI - Nine current or former Racine Raiders were signed to contracts with teams in the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) this offseason.  One player was signed to a contract by the Chicago Slaughter and eight were signed by the Milwaukee Bonecrushers, a first-year team in the CIFL.

The players that were signed to contracts that played with the Raiders in 2007 are linebackers Jamie Isome and Brian Sylvas, wide receiver Dorian Palmer, defensive backs Brett Barnes and Rick Hutchins, and linemen Dan Morjal, Marcus Fletcher, and Scott Tyrcha.  Barnes is a second-year player with the Slaughter.  Sylvas, while a linebacker for the Raiders, will play running back for the Bonecrushers.

"Its an honor and a privilege to make the professional indoor team, the Milwaukee Bonecrushers," said Isome.  "I have been blessed in my life and this is just another blessing that has been given to me."

Reggie Davis, a wide receiver that played with the Raiders in the early part of this decade, also made the Bonecrushers roster.

Isome and Sylvas were part of one of the best linebacker trios in all of minor league football in 2007.  Palmer would've set several Raiders' receiving records had he not sat out 1-1/2 games due to injury.  Barnes and Hutchins combined with defensive backs Kevin Barrett and Eric Feest to shut down teams' passing attacks.  Morjal and Tyrcha demonstrated their ability to play on both sides of the ball throughout the season and Fletcher was an immovable force in the middle of the defensive line.
