Spokane reaches the midpoint of the Arena Football League season following tonight’s home game against Philadelphia. How those first nine games are measured depends in large part on tonight’s outcome. A win over Philadelphia (7-2) would boost Spokane (4-4) above .500 for the first time this year, rank as the biggest victory of the season considering the Soul’s No. 2 ranking and enhance the Shock’s playoff chances.

It wasn't exactly how you draw it up.
Spokane survived a sloppy, penalty- and turnover-filled game to pull out a 68-62 win over New Orleans on Friday night. Some of the uneven play was to be expected with Spokane working in seven new starters and losing standout receiver Brandon Thompkins to injury for most of the game. Some miscues simply couldn't be explained, such as a New Orleans' receiver getting behind three defensive backs for a 28-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half and Spokane messing up a potential game-winning PAT.
