Last Saturday night the Salina Bombers started their first winning streak in franchise history. The Bombers were able to win their second consecutive game with a victory over the Oklahoma Defenders, 50-31. The Bombers will now turn their attention to the first Friday night game in team history as the Sioux City Bandits visit Salina. The Bandits assembled a 31 game winning streak, before losing in Omaha last Sunday in overtime, 32-26.

This game tonight has the potential to be a high octane offensive affair. Currently the Bombers are ranked 3rd in the CPIFL in scoring offense, averaging 42.3 points per game and ranked 5th in total offense, averaging 203 yards per game. The Bandits are the CPIFL’s top ranked rushing offense averaging 104 yards per game with 12 rushing touchdowns this season. Bandit receiver Eddie Pertilla leads the CPIFL in yards per catch, but Bombers receivers Pelton Smalls and Ricky Roberts rank second and third behind Pertilla.

Salina looks to beef up their offensive line tonight with the addition of former Oklahoma Sooner and Orlando Predator (AFL) Jarvis Jones. The 6’7″ 315lb offensive lineman can will help platoon the Bomber line, especially with Roy Richard in Dallas at a regional NFL combine.

The Salina Bombers will feature cars and drivers from the Salina Speedway today as the Speedway prepares for their opening night on Saturday. The Salina Bicentennial Center gates will open to the arena at 6:00 pm today, with pregame activities starting at 6:15 pm.
