Midwest Rampage defensive back Andy Sowle, above waiting to take the field before the team’s opening game in May, was one of four defensive players named to the all-World Football League first-team, it was announced recently. The Rampage went 3-6 in its first season.
WEBSTER CITY — The Midwest Rampage hung its hat on the defensive side of the ball throughout its inaugural season this summer, which is why members of that unit were rewarded so nicely with postseason accolades recently. Four Rampage defensive players — defensive end Jared Bell, defensive tackle Brian Miller, linebacker John Elkin and defensive back Andy Sowle — were named to the all-World Football League first team. Players were nominated for postseason honors and voted on by the league coaches. The head coaches were not allowed to nominate or vote for their own players. The Oklahoma Thunder, a World Bowl finalist and the two-time defending champion, led the first and second teams with a total of 15 players honored. The Des Moines Blaze, who will face off against the Thunder for the title this weekend in Tulsa, Okla., and the Rampage were both second with nine.
