Last Week: Terrence Sanders returned two kickoffs for touchdowns as the Burn defeated Amarillo, 51-40. Central Valley blew a fourth-quarter lead and lost to Stockton, 57-56. Get to know? Central Valley receiver Lamonte Jones. When the Coyote quarterbacks drop to pass, it?s a good bet they?re looking for Jones. The 5-foot-10 Jones already has 92 receptions on the season, which is fourth in af2. For comparison?s sake, Boise?s Jomo Wilson and Nichiren Flowers have combined for 91 catches thusfar. Defense continues to shine: Through nine games, the Burn continue to have one of the league?s stingiest defenses. The group is third in af2 in points allowed per game (40.2) and second in pass-efficiency defense (76.4). Boise collected four sacks last week against Amarillo, David Stanton had two and Alex Guerrero and Mark Weivoda each had one. Scott steadiest kicking game: After inconsistent performances in the kicking game over the first two seasons for Boise, the Burn brought in Ben Scott to steady the ship. And boy, has he ever. Scott has converted 86 percent of his extra-point kicks (remember, the uprights are significantly narrower in af2 than outdoor football) and is among the league leaders in field goal percentage (60 percent).
