Arena football

Former Spokane Shock receiver Antwone Savage signed with his second Arena Football League team in four months when he joined the Georgia Force.

Savage is a Georgia native.

Savage had signed a contract with the Chicago Rush in November but was released during camp.

He led the Shock in 2007 with 40 touchdowns and 2,260 all-purpose yards during the regular season.

The Shock have also announced that they will play an exhibition game on March 20 at the Yakima SunDome, as they host the Amarillo Dusters.

The Shock open the regular season at Green Bay on March 30 with their first home game on April 5 against Stockton.
