The 6-0 Wroclaw Panthers head to Bialystok, Poland to take on the 4-2 Bialystok Lowlanders in the second last game of the 2018 regular season in Poland’s Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego.
The Panthers have rolled through the LFA with relative ease. They defeated the Lowlanders in the opening game of the season 37-13 and the only team to come within two touchdowns has been the Gdynia Seahawks who lost 28-14.
Panthers head coach Nick Johansen, in his fourth year with the club, has built a powerhouse of a team winning the last two Polish championships and pushing Austria’s Swarco Raiders to the limits in a Central European Football League game in 2017. He also led the Panthers to the Champions League crown in 2016.
Bialystok head coach John Harper is in his second season with the team and has fashioned an impressive coaching record of his own in Europe. He has guided, or helped to guide, 11 different teams in five different countries to highly successful records not to mention championships. He has an amazing won-loss record and as an assistant or head coach he has won the European championship twice, the Champions league title once, the Italian championship, the Austrian division 1 championship, the Central European Football League championship and the Serbian championship twice. He has laid the foundation for the success of several teams including Turkey’s Koc Rams and Serbia’s SBB Vukovi Belgrade.
The Lowlanders boast the second best offense in the LFA averaging 37.6 points a game while they only give up 13.5. Wroclaw has scored 269 points in six games while allowing 51.
The Lowlanders are led by quarterback Ryan Kasdorf, while Tim Morovick is behind center for Wroclaw.
