pre-season loss to Brussels Raiders. Signed Tabor College FB Jim Cross in 1991 to team up
with the powerful Shaun Newport in the backfield and made the playoffs again. In 1992,
Newport left the team but high profiles signings such as Hazen Choates (Spartans), Junior
Cane (Capitals) and Lennie Braithwaite joined the fray. In 1993 entered the NDMA for the
