Phoenix Outlaws Football since 1999©

For the second connective year the Phoenix Outlaws have earned the right to play for the Gridiron Football Leagues State Championship. With a convincing win against the Scottsdale Sharks last Saturday 41-6, the Outlaws kept their perfect season alive. The State Championship game will put the Outlaws against the East Valley Ravens who won their playoff game 47-8 over the Westside Monsoon. The Outlaws took the opening kickoff and after having to over come a few penalties, the Outlaws scored on a perfect pass from Tony Aguilera to C.j. Venezia from 44 yards out. On the night Aguilera would throw four touchdown passes and Venezia would be on the end of three of those including a perfect times diving catch in the end zone from 22 yards out. Aguilera's other touchdown pass went to Ruben Gammage from 39 yards. Mixed in with those touchdowns was a three yard run by Laz Avila and a 51 yard punt return from Teaurron Sanders. Aguilera's passing performance  of 256 yards put him third in Outlaw playoff history for passing yards in a game. Venezia's receiving yards of 123 yards put him over the top and in first place all time in receiving in Outlaws history passing the great Tiger Miles. Over all the Outlaws totaled 305 yards on the "O". As usual the Outlaws defense stole the show recording 6 sacks and about 25 more knock downs of the QB. Kyle Hitchcock lead the defense with 7 tackles and A.K. Kilbert, Gary Stevenson, Steve Seeley, Michael Penney and Tyson Muse all recorded 5 tackles. The Phoenix Outlaws will have to focus on the prize against a tough Raven team who's only losses on the season were to the Outlaws. As we found out last year the regular season does not matter, it's all about what you do each and every game day! This is the game everyone wants since the beginning of the year so now it is on... Pack the stands!!!!!! Game time is 7:00 pm at Moon Valley High.

The Outlaws came into week ten with a lot of distractions but overcame them all to complete the regular season undefeated with a record of 10-0. The win also gave the Outlaws franchise it's 100th win in the team history. The regular season is now over with the Outlaws sporting the leagues #1 defense, #1 offense, the leagues leading passer (#10-Tony Aguilera), rusher (#2-Jarrell Davis), receiver (#26-C.J. Venezia), sack leader (#15-Otis Frazier), and Interceptor (#3-Phouc Hoang),  however now that the regular season is over, all of that is out the window and the new season begins!

The last regular season game saw Outlaw QB Tony Aguilera throw two more touchdowns, one to C.J. Venezia from 36 yards out and another to Mike Cvelbar from 3 yards out. Jarrell Davis continued his assault on the record books rushing for 69 yards and two touchdowns from 32 and 6 yards out. Over all it was an off night for the Outlaw offense who turned over the ball an unusual 6 times to keep the score down, however they did scored when they needed to but actually had no worries due to the Outlaws insane defense! The Defense was lead by Chet Sanders 8 tackles followed by Jimmy Fuentes who recorded 7. The secondary stole three interceptions by Billy Hammer, Donte' Brown, and Phouc Hoang. The front four harassed the Monsoon quarterback all night and  Chet Sanders, Kyle Hitchcock, and Aaron O'Neal all recorded sacks. Just before the half OLB Jimmy Fuentes snatched a fumble and returned it 80 yards for another score. The defense has been a dominating force since week one. The final score was 34-7 Outlaws. THE PLAYOFFS ARE FINALLY HERE!!!! The Outlaws will take on the Scottsdale Sharks next Saturday at 7:00pm. Mark your calendars, it is Outlaws post season time... time to stack the stands and go for the repeat!

In a game for the top seeding in the GFL playoffs the 7-0 Outlaws took on the 6-1 Ravens. The game was physical, and played to the end. The Ravens opened up the scoring on a 59 yard pass. The Outlaws would answer when QB Tony Aguilera ran it in from a yard out, however the XTP was blocked and returned for two points and at the end of the first quarter the Ravens were up 9-6. The second quarter was back and fourth until just prior to the half when Outlaw QB Aguilera hit Ruben Gammage on a perfect throw in stride for a 43 yard touchdown, but the Ravens would kick a field goal on the last play of the half, and going into intermission the score was 13-12 Outlaws. After the break the third quarter belonged to the Outlaws with Aguilera throwing two more touchdowns, this time both to C.J. Venezia from 9 and 11 yards out. The fourth quarter the Outlaws drove down the field for the check mate field goal but it was blocked and returned by the Ravens 108 yards to cut the score to 26-19 and that would hold up to be the final. Despite the score this was defiantly a defensive game with the Ravens selling out to stop the running game and the Outlaws creating turnovers. The defensive was lead by Outlaws defensive back Phuoc Hoang who recorded three interceptions and was named the GFL's player of the week. The defense was also lead by Billy Hammer, Kyle Hitchcock, and Gary Stevenson who all recorded 6 tackles. Hitchcock also recorded two sacks. For the Outlaws the player of the week was quarterback Tony Aguilera who when the running game was shut down he had to step up and that is exactly what he did throwing three touchdown passes and rushing for another. Other than a few special team mistakes that kept the game close, the Outlaws handled business and with two weeks to go, locked in the number one seed going into the playoffs! The Outlaws are currently 8-0 and will face the Scottsdale Sharks next Saturday at 6:00 pm. The Phoenix Outlaws family would like to send our deepest prayers to one of our own, Teresa Kinion (Momma T.) for a speedy recovery! Our prayers are with you and your family!

After a week off the Outlaws hit the field against the Westside Monsoon. The first half saw the Outlaws take the early lead in a Jarrell Davis 3 yard run followed by a Toney Aguilera 9 yard pass to Mike Cvelbar to take a 13-0 lead, however the Monsoon would score just before the half and at the break it was 13-6 Outlaws. The second half was a different story. After the Outlaws got their head together and focused on this game, the machine started to roll again. The opening drive had Ruben Gammage catch a perfect throw from Tony Aguilera from 40 yards out for a 20-6 lead, then Calvin Darden intercepted a pass and returned it to the 14. The Outlaws and leagues leading rusher Jarrell Davis would score on the first play from 14 yards out for his second touchdown on the day and just like that the Outlaws stretched the lead to 27-6. The defense would take it from there recording a defensive touchdown and a safety. The defensive touchdown was a hit by Jimmy Fuentes and the scoring recovery was by Tracy Peoples. Defensive lineman Adam Zionts had his best day as an Outlaw recording 8 tackles including 4 solo as well as deflecting two passes. Otis Frazier continued his onslaught on QB's with three more sacks giving him 14 on the season. Jerrell Davis has now rushed for 647 yards on the season. and Tony Aguilera has 648 passing yards second in the league.

Week four saw the biggest game for the GFL to date with two undefeated teams battling early for first place. The Ravens were bosting the leagues best defense not giving up a single point and holding their opponent last week to minus eight yards of total offense (and -28 yards on the season). The Outlaws knew that they would have to bring a physical brand of football and as designed dominated the game physically. Not only did the Outlaws score but when the dust settled they put up 310 yards of offense and 23 points on the board. The physical play on the other side of the ball saw the Outlaws secondary hit everything that moved and only gave up 10 points. Outlaw kicker Phil Insalaco started the scoring with a 29 yard field goal in the first quarter and the Ravens tied it up before halftime with a Hansen field goal to knot the teams up 3-3. Ruben Gammage would intercept a pass just short of the end zone to halt a Raven threat going into the half. The second half was just like the first with the Outlaws dominating on both sides of the ball. Running back Jarrell Davis took advantage of outstanding blocking in route to a new Outlaw single game rushing record of 183 yards on 13 attempts for an outstanding 14.08 yard average. Even though Jarrell had a long touchdown called back due to a penalty, he still ran two more in from 35 and 72 yards out. Jarrell is currently running away with the rushing title leading all other runners by more than 300 yards. Quarterback Tony Aguilera had a steady game and made big throws at big times. The leading receiver was C. J. Venezia who totaled 76 yards on three receptions and Ruben Gammage scored the passing touchdown catching a pass from 6 yards out in the fourth quarter for the game clincher. The defense... man, every player could have received the "hit of the week" award. The defense was lead by Billy Hammer who recorded 8 tackles followed by Gammage with 5, and A.K. Kilbert and Gary Stevenson with 4 each. Otis Frazier after missing last weeks game was back at it hitting the Ravens quarterback consistently and recorded 2 more sacks giving him 5 on the young season. Others who recorded sacks were Ron Romero and Chet Sanders. This game will be continued later in the year and the talented Ravens squad will be just as ready as we will be! So if you missed this one, you may not want to miss the next one. The 4-0 Outlaws will have a bye this next week and will return to play on March 9th at 3:00 with a rematch against the Monsoon who are now hitting their stride after a big win last week.

As the two longest running teams, words could never describe the history of these two organizations. There is, and has never has been, anything but respect for each other. In the 13th edition of the Outlaws vs Sting rivalry, this match up had the Sting dominate in time of position, and the Outlaws cashing in on the few times they had the ball resulting in a 21-0 victory. The win put the Outlaws ahead in the all time series vs the Sting 11-2 as well as 3-0 on the season. Outlaw Quarterback Tony Aguilera made his first start of the season and responded well throwing three touchdown passes including two to Mike Cvelbar and another to C. J. Venezia. Cvelbar lead all receivers with 4 receptions for 114 yards followed by Venezia with 32 yards and Austin Davis with 31 yards. The Outlaws leading ground leader and still the leading rusher of the league Jarrell Davis with 50 yards on 9 rushing attempts. The Outlaws defense recorded its second shut out in three games with three goal line stands. The defense was lead by Mike Napolitano with 8 tackles followed by Ron Romero with 7 and Chet Sanders with 5.

After a team bye and then followed by a league bye, the Phoenix Outlaws were back at it with a rematch of our pre-season game with the Westside Monsoon. The pre-season game was close and with the Monsoon doubling in size since the pre season, we knew it would be another tough game. The layoff for both teams showed with the defenses dominating the game for the most part. The Monsoon would score three defensive touchdowns to keep the game close and actually take the lead at the end of the third quarter. The game was controlled by Outlaws running back #2-Jerrell Davis who rushed 15 times for 135 yards including two touchdowns from 24 and 46 yards out. Laz Avila added another 34 yards on the ground giving the Outlaws 176 total rushing yards on the day. After Outlaw Quarterback Tony Aguilera rushed for a touchdown and threw a two point conversion to Mike Cvelbar the Outlaws had the 3 point lead at 29-26. After the Monsoon gave it their best shot at a comeback, the Outlaws would take the ball over in their own territory with 6:45 to go in the game. After countless first downs running and passing the Monsoon finally got the ball back with only 38 seconds remaining. The Outlaw defense who played lights out all day sealed the deal when OLB Aaron O'Neal made his first interception of the season. On the day the Outlaw defense recorded five sacks lead by Otis Frazier with two and Matt Vaughn, Jimmy Fuentes, and Emmanuel Luna each recording one. To Go along with O'Neal's interception, Fuentes also had one. The defense was lead by Mike Napolitano and Billy Hammer who each recorded 6 tackles.

The 2013 Gridiron Football League started just as it finished with a rematch of the Championship Game. The Phoenix Outlaws vs. the Scottsdale Sharks. The word of the day was DEFENSE! With both teams playing physical football, the Outlaws were able to make more plays than the Sharks and get the opening day victory 10-0. Points were a premium on the day with the Outlaws scoring early on a nice drive that ended with kicker Phil Insalaco kicking a 38 yard field goal for the 3-0 lead that would hold all the way to the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter Outlaw linebacker Gary Stevenson would hit the Shark quarterback Matt DeSmidt causing a fumble that Emmanuel Luna would scoop up and return it 24 yards for the only touchdown on the night. The Outlaws defense pitched a shout out lead by Otis Frazier in tackles with 7 followed by Mike Napolitano with 6 as well as Tyson Muse with 3. The Outlaws defense also recorded sacks by Stevenson, Frazier, and Luna. Muse and Ruben Gammage each had an interception. The Outlaw offense who played with out QB Mike Ochoa, TE Mike Cvelbar, and WR James Castillo, still were productive all day lead by quarterback Tony Aguilera, and the running game once again was solid with Jerell Davis leading the team in rushing with 64 tough yards on 10 carries. On the night the Outlaws rushed for 89 yards on 27 attempts. The team will have a two week break from games but will have the Championship ring ceremony on February 2nd. It will be "Championship weekend" with the Outlaw rings on Saturday and the Super Bowl on Sunday. When play resumes that Outlaws will have a rematch of the pre season game against the Westside Monsoon at 3:00 pm.

With the two teams that were ready to go on a cold winter day, the Phoenix Outlaws and the Westside Monsoon showed that defense may be a large key to who will have success in the 2013 season. The Monsoon flexing their muscles would score two touchdowns on interceptions. The fact that both teams were in white jerseys may have had something to do with that. Not to mention for that very reason it was difficult to figure out who to block in the running game for both teams however the Outlaws dominated in the rushing attack pilling up 160 yards on 36 attempts. Jerrell Davis lead all rushers with 87 yards on 9 attempts followed by Tirrell Thompson with 44 yards on 13 attempts. Not to be out done by his brother Jerrell, Austin Davis lead the team in receiving yards with 48 followed by Christian Millers 38 yards on 2 receptions. The mix of quarterback Mike Ochoa and Tony Aguilera netted 166 passing yards to give the team 326 total yards of offense. Aguilera threw a touchdown to Ruben Gammage who made a sensational catch with one hand as well as rushing for one himself. Tyat Tolman and Laz Avila also scored rushing touchdowns. The Defense was solid all day shutting down the running game and only giving up a score to the Monsoon offense at the end of the game. The defense was lead by Gary Stevenson with 5 tackles followed by Otis Frazier, Tyson Muse, and Emmanuel Luna with 4 each. A.K. Aaron Kilbert returned an interception 34 yards and Stevenson, Luna, Frazier, Adam Zionts, Matt Vaughn, and Jared Mathis all recorded sacks. Good game for both squads to chip off the rust of a long off season. Next up: the start of the regular season and a rematch of last years State Championship game. Outlaws vs. the Scottsdale Sharks - be there!
