SAGINAW -- The Flint Phantoms arena football team dropped to 1-4 in the Continental Indoor Football League last Friday after falling to the Saginaw Sting, 55-28.
Saginaw, now 5-0, was actually trailing by two in the second half, 20-22 after Andre Broach ran in a 35-yard score and Buffalo Wideman hooked up with Robert Boyer for the two-point conversion.

Saginaw lit up the scoreboard first with an 11-yard touchdown run by John Radney at 11:57 in the first quarter. The PAT was good for the 7-0 lead.

MILWAUKEE -- The Flint Phantoms of the Continental Indoor Football League were hoping some roster additions and a road trip would help them get over the hump and put their first win on the books when they faced the Milwaukee Bonecrushers last Sunday in Milwaukee.

After their first three games ended in lopsided routs, Flint can now breathe a little easier after throwing the monkey off their back with a 62-53 win over Milwaukee.

FLINT -- The Flint Phantoms of the Continental Indoor Football League may have lost the third straight game of their inaugural season last Friday night, but they found a quarterback, some loyal fans, and a hardnosed personality.
The Phantoms played tough against the New England Surge, one of the league’s established teams, giving the guys from Worchester, MA all they could handle before bowing by a 38-28 score. In the end, the Surge offensive line, running game and team cohesion wore the Phantoms down. The running of 245 lb. Harold Shaw (Southern Mississippi; 3 years on New England Patriots) was the telling factor. The bruising back picked up 76 yards on 17 carries, scoring 4 TDs and a 2-point conversion.
