The Buffalo Bandits are starting the season off with a win after defeating the San Diego Seals 13-10 in front of the hometown fans. The game was certainly a tale of two halves, the first being a slower offensive game as it ended tied 4-4 before teams worked out their kinks and started putting balls in the back of the net.

What this assignor wanted was some flyers that they could pass out to people that stopped by the tent. They wanted to try and recruit them to be officials.
