Aftershock seeks first win

By Brian Vernellis • bvernellis@gannett.com • May 3, 2008

The Shreveport Aftershock (0-2) are off to a slow start, but that could change with their first home game of the 2008 season.

The Fuel have already handed the Aftershock a 12-8 defeat in the season opener. Tonight's game is the second of four meetings between the teams."We beat ourselves with three turnovers in the red zone," said Aftershock head coach Tom Emerson."It's a rivalry because you don't find many teams in our league that have two or three reams in the same state."The IWFL has 40 teams across two tiers in major cities like Boston, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Seattle to mid-major towns like Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Manchester, N.H., and Madison, Wisc."It's a positive for people with little girls who want to play sports other than what high schools have," Emerson said."It's a negative when certain people think that women don't need to do something that a man does."Emerson's coaching career began at the pee-wee and high school levels in South Carolina. When he and his wife moved to Texas, he coached a semi-pro team."This is something different that I thought I had to try," he said. "There are some things out there you just want to try once."I've really enjoyed it and hope I can do it for a long time."He's not the only one getting a rush from the experience.Cornerback/receiver Ree Dotts heard about the team from one of her husband's co-workers. She attended a game last year to see what the team was all about."I thought, 'I'm doing this,'" Dotts said. "It's been very exciting. I love the hitting, that's the best part. And, just being fit and staying shape is always positive."It's an adrenaline rush."
