We take a look back to last July as the Capital City Stealth avenge two losses in a row by demolishing the Flint Fury at Waverly High School.
The Capital City Steath hosted the Lakeshore Cougars for the 4th Annual Stars & Stripes game and honored our military, police, firefighters, & EMTs with a dominating win!
The colors were presented by the local Cival Air Patrol Color Gaurd before the game and that must have inspired the Stealth because they came out firing on offense, defense and special teams pulling out to a 22-0 lead. The Stealth cruised to the 37-18 win over the Cougars.
The second game from last season sees the Capital City Stealth go 3 and zero with a hard hitting 47-6 victory over the Vipers. http://www.capitalcitystealth.com

The Stealth’s defense stifled the Diesels and held them to just 56 yards for the game. The Stealth offensive line dominated as the team showed off their stable of running backs and fast receivers by putting 254 yards on the ground. The Stealth offense put up six touchdowns, five of which came on the ground, and amassed 401 yards total offense for the game.
Former Spartan, AJ Jimmerson, started and ended the scoring for the night with touchdowns of 5 yards and 30 yards. Chris D. Rucker, Brandon Dunn, and Leroy Green each added a touchdown of their own. The Stealth’s only passing touchdown came on a 4 yard pass from Damon Young to Brian Jackson.
Jimmerson lead all running backs with 90 yards on 11 carries. In all, seven Stealth running backs had double digit yardage in a demonstration of ball control offense. Green, running out of the wildcat formation had 3 carries for 39 yards, the last of which was a beautiful 25 yard touchdown.
The Stealth advance to play the Southern Michigan Timberwolves in Monroe next Saturday. A win there and the Stealth will return to the GLFL Championship game for the second straight year. The Lakeshore Cougars beat the Flint Fury in the other GLFL first round game so the other GLFL semi-final game pits the Lake Shore Cougars vs. the Detroit Seminoles. The GLFL Championship will be played on September 7th at the home field of the highest remaining seed. The Stealth can host that game with a win vs. the Timberwolves and a Seminole loss to the Cougars next week.
The Capital City Stealth, beat the West Michigan Force 47 — 7 in a rematch of the 2012 Great Lake Football League Championship game.
As has been the case most of the year, the Stealth scored first but after each team traded turnovers a slow first quarter ended with a tie score at 7 — 7. From there the Stealth settled in and scored 40 unanswered points.
Former MSU star A.J. Jimmerson had 44 yards on the day capped off by an electrifying 4 yard touchdown run to put the Stealth up 14-7. Stealth third year running back Demetrius Addison showed off his speed and agility with 71 yards on just 5 carries and added 7 more points for the Stealth before halftime. Rodney Hodges & Damion Jones each added touchdowns runs of 5 yards in the third quarter.
“Our offensive line was dominant the Force all evening. They opened holes for our running backs and gave the quarterbacks all kinds of time to throw. You can tell these guys are really coming together and peaking at the right time. With this kind of play we should be able to make it deep into the playoffs.” said Frank Cugini, Stealth Assistant General Manager.
Damon Young was 11 of 16 for 129 yards and a touchdown spreading most of his passes between receivers Trevor Maus, Mike Frisbie and Leroy Green. Both of Frisbie’s receptions went for touchdowns.
The Stealth have traditionally had one of the best defenses in the league and this year is no different. The team is at the top of the league in takeaways and they added five more verses the Force — 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles. They also tacked on 10 sacks on a night when they seem to hit the Force QB on every play.
The defense was led by Marshal Brice with 10 tackles and a sack. Javonte Wells, Stanley Pates & Daloreon Strickland each had 2.5 sacks. Cullen Davis had an interception that he returned 35 yards for a touchdown. Marcus Pugh had the crowd on its feet with a late interception that he returned 85 yards to set up the Stealth’s final score. Stealth head coach, Mike Wallace, reached into his bag of tricks to get the touchdown. Quarterback Brandon Heik handed the ball to Leroy Green on what appeared to be a reverse, but then Green put up a 25 yard pass to a wide open Frisbie in the end zone.
