River City Bowl

Went over to Laughlin/Bullhead City this past weekend to check out the River City Bowl, played by 5 teams from the IWFL. As a fan, this was a great event for women's football. We were able to see 3 hours of football which was exciting due to the fact that the teams only had 15 plays on "O" and "D" against each other.

Here is a recap of what I saw, mind you that this was a scrimmage so there weren't any programs and some teams were in their practice jerseys:
