Duke City quarterback Nate Davis accounted for nine touchdowns and passed for 282 yards, and the Gladiators held on for a 68-61 victory over the Spokane Shock in an Indoor Football League game Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The second-ranked Rattlers took advantage of quarterback Charles McCullum's second-half absence, shutting down the shorthanded Shock in a 56-35 win at Phoenix Suns Arena.
Perhaps the most tradition-rich indoor football franchise since its 1992 inception, the Arizona Rattlers host a reborn Spokane Shock chasing the same longterm success.
