Game Summary/Box Score – 2007 AA Playoffs
June 16, 2007 Great Falls Gladiators vs. Missoula Phoenix @ Washington-Grizzly Stadium

MISSOULA  46 GREAT FALLS 15

MISSOULA – Shane Jurasek passed for 382 yards and 4 touchdowns, with Tyler Boaz catching two of those touchdowns, including an RMFL play-off record, 96-yard touchdown pass midway through the 4th quarter to salt away a 46-15 playoff victory over the Great Falls Gladiators at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

As usual, the Gladiators defense played tough… at least for 3 quarters as they hung around in the game until Gavin Johnson started a 21-point 4th quarter scoring fest by Missoula with a 14-yard touchdown dash to put the Gladiators away for good. Johnson would finish the day with a solid 78 yards rushing on 15 carries and two touchdowns, including the first score of the second period, a 3-yard touchdown that gave the Phoenix a 13-0 lead at the time.

The Gladiators did, however, have their best offensive game of the season, scoring not only 15 points, but also picking up 373 total net yards, including 212 rushing and 161 passing. 5 interceptions, however, spoiled the show for the Gladiators as the Phoenix secondary stymied several successful Great Falls drives.  Stephen Schreibeis lead the parade with 2 interceptions of his own as the Phoenix defense did bend… but rarely did break.

Gladiator running back, Keith Deboo, had his best game of the season for Great Falls, rushing for 135 yards and both Gladiator touchdowns as the team just could not stem the tide of a big passing day from Jurasek.

Leading the Phoenix defensive effort was Tony Sanderson, who recorded 7 tackles and Kevin Bereta and Stevo Alaniz, who recored 6 tackles each as the Gladiators, once again, ran the ball a lot more than they passed; this time with 43 rushing plays.

The victory earns the Phoenix a rematch with the team that came up to Montana to knock the then, #1 seeded Missoula team (then called Raptors) from last years playoffs; the Vipers.  This game, however, will be played down in Utah as the Phoenix will have an opportunity to do to the Vipers… exactly what the Vipers did to them. Game is set for Saturday night, 7:00 p.m. at Davis High School..
