2019 SEASON CAME TO A CLOSE WITH A CONVINCING AND ONE SIDED VICTORY BY ENFORCERS OVER THEIR LOCAL

ENFORCERS FOUND THEIR WAY TO SUCCESS AGAINST A SURPRISINGLY UNDERMANNED BLAZE TEAM.
THE ENFORCERS JUMPED OUT TO AN EARLY LEAD AND NEVER LOOKED BACK, HEADING INTO HALFTIME
UP 35-0.
FUTURE INFORMATION REGARDING THE OFF SEASON WILL FOLLOW. STAY TUNED.

TOSS LOSS BRINGS A CHANGE IN FOCUS
THE ENFORCERS TRAVELED TO NYC LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO GET SOME REVENGE FROM THE NYPD FINEST
AFTER LAST SEASONS DISAPPOINTING CHAMPIONSHIP GAME LOSS. UNFORTUNATELY THE FINEST HAD OUR NUMBER.
WITH NYPD RACING TO A 21-0 FIRST HALF LEAD, THE ENFORCERS WERE ABLE TO CLOSE THE GAP TO 21-14
EARLY ON THE 3RD QUARTER BEFORE THE FINEST FOUGHT BACK WITH 2 QUICK SCORES OF THERE OWN. THE FINAL FROM
NYC WOULD WIND UP GOING 42-21 TO THE FINEST WHICH NOW SETS THEM IN THE CATBIRD SEAT FOR ANOTHER
RUN TO A NPSFL CHAMPIONSHIP.
A HUGE SHOW OF APPRECIATION AND THANKS GOES OUT TO OUR HOSTS WHO, DESPITE THE OUTCOME OF THE
GAME, PROVIDED A TREMENDOUS WEEKEND.
THE ENFORCERS WILL NEED TO SHIFT GEARS QUICKLY AS THE ANNUAL BATTLE FOR THE BATON AND AXE WILL
TAKE PLACE IN JUST UNDER 2 WEEKS. WITH THE ENFORCERS BARELY IN THE NATIONAL TITLE PICTURE
THEY CAN AT LEAST HOLD LOCAL BRAGGING RIGHTS AND EXTEND THE STREAK AGAINST THE CFD BLAZE TO 3 GAMES.
THE GAME IS SET FOR FRIDAY NIGHT, 31 MAY 19 WITH A 7:00PM KICKOFF AT ST. RITA HS LOCATED AT 77TH AND WESTERN.
TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED AT THE GATE, FROM YOUR FAVORITE TEAM MEMBER OR FROM THE LINK BELOW

TEXAS WOLFPACK. THE GAME WOULD WIND UP QUICKLY TURNING INTO A ONE SIDED AFFAIR WITH THE
ENFORCERS JUMPING OUT TO A 28-0 1ST QUARTER LEAD. MULTIPLE TURNOVERS BY CENTRAL TEXAS LED
TO SHORT FIELDS FOR THE ENFORCERS. ADDITIONALLY, THE IMPROVISATIONAL SKILLS OF QB ADAM TAPLING

MULTIPLE PLAYERS CHIPPED IN WITH BIG PLAYS INCLUDING TD RECEPTIONS BY TODD BURKOTH, BOB SLECHTER AND GEORGE HICKEY AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF GROUND SCORES BY BRANDON BROOKS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE EARLY SCORING WAS A 68 YARD SCRAMBLE AND RUN BY TAPLING. THE DEFENSE KICKED IN WITH A SCOOP AND SCORE AS WELL WHEN ROOKIE DONNELL OWENS
CAME UP WITH A LOOSE BALL LATE IN THE 4TH QUARTER.
THE AGELESS FOOT OF CHRIS LENTI TALLIED A 36 YARD FIELD GOAL TO HELP THE SPECIAL TEAMS MAKE ITS MARK AS WELL.
A SHOUT OUT TO BOB SLECHTER AND PAUL HABIAK AS THEY BEGAN THEIR 14TH SEASON. BOTH OF THEM HAVE
PLAYED IN EVERY SEASON SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE ENFORCERS!

TTHE CPD ENFORCERS CLOSE OUT A WIN VS SAN DIEGO IN A BRUISING AND SPIRITED CONTEST
The San Diego Enforcers came to Chicago's Lane Tech High School regarded as one of the elite teams in the NPSFL giving our
CPD Enforcers plenty of motivation. Coupled with a rather one sided lose in San Diego three seasons ago, Chicago's
Enforcers were looking for some payback.
The game found itself with what many had hoped for with physical play, tremendous athleticism and some highlight reel moments
displayed by both teams. CPD found itself with an early lead on the heals of a Pick 6 courtesy of rookie LB Pierre Meeks (001st Dist).
After a SD field goal, CPD responded with QB Chris Pazan (007th Dist) to another rookie, WR Marco Scalzetti (Naperville PD), for his first career Enforcers TD. CPD's Chris Lenti would add a FG of his own as the half began to close out. But, the ensuing kickoff would result in a short field after a nice return for SD, they were able to connect on a sideline route for a quick score closing the gap to 17-10 CPD. With less than a minute remaining Chris Pazan would lead a 70 yard TD drive capped off with tremendous laid out grab by Bob Schlecter (Unit 189) to take us to the locker room with a 24-10 score.
The second half turned into a defensive slug fest with no scoring in the 3rd quarter and turnovers by both sides leading to a compelling 4th quarter. With both offense's struggling to gain footing, San Diego was able grind out a drive and cap it with a TD as the clock showed 5:25 left in the game. With that, the CPD Offense was able to take the field and put together a clock killing drive that ended at the SD 15 yard line as time expired.
San Diego brought with it a sizable contingent of family, fans and supporters and we wish them safe travels back to southern California as well as success in its remaining contests. CPD will look to a non league game on May 12th vs the Inland Empire Enforcers followed by an NPSFL contest with its local rival the CFD Blaze on June 2nd. Check back soon for more details on the upcoming games.

HOME GAMES ON THE HORIZON
With the travel portion of the schedule completed successfully, the Enforcers will shift their focus to its home games. The team will welcome the San Diego Enforcers to Chicago for a gridiron match up on 21 April 18 at Lane Tech. This game will be worth the price of admission. San Diego, considered one of the premier NPSFL programs, will bring in a very talented organization comprised of multiple local law enforcement departments, fire prevention, military and federal agency members. The last time these two teams hooked up resulted in a disappointing loss in San Diego for our Chicago team.
This will be followed with a home game against a non-league opponent, Inland Empire Enforcers, who are based in San Bernardino California. Inland is a mixed team of law enforcement professionals and other professionals whose purpose and goals are to support local charities in their region.
During this contest we will honoring the family of fallen Commander Paul Bauer at halftime. Additionally, he we will be introducing a challenge coin that will support the creation of a scholarship fund in his name that will be awarded to the Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. The cost per coin will be $20.00 and will be available for purchase at the game and after the game from team members.
2ND WIN IN 2018 NPSFL PLAY AND 3RD IN A ROW AGAINST
COLUMBUS MAKES FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRIP TO OHIO
The Enforcers trip to the Ohio capital found them behind early and looking for footing on offense before finally breaking through in the 2nd quarter and never looking back. Again, all three phases played well and Enforcers were able to capitalize on opportunities when they had them. The convincing 42-10 victory marks the 3rd consecutive win in the all time series with the mid-west foe as well as the 2nd consecutive win in as many trips to Columbus. The series is now tied at 3 games a piece.
The Columbus organization again provided not only a great game but a terrific host and we look forward to having them back to Chicago for our 2019 match up. Stats and more information will be posted soon from the Columbus game so please check back.

San Diego is coming off a huge victory against 2017 DI runner-up LAPD that has clearly marked them as one of the front runners for a berth in the NPSFL Championship. This will be a game both of the "Enforcers" need to win in order to keep their championship hopes alive. The game will be played on 21 Apr 18 at the historic Lane Tech Stadium and kickoff will be at 5:00pm. Stay tuned for more updates on this game.
ENFORCERS CONTROL THE GUARDIANS IN FLORIDA -
BEGIN TO PREP FOR COLUMBUS
The Enforcers kicked of the 2018 season with a 42-7 win against the Orlando Guardians at Lake Howell High School. All 3 phases of the game played significant roles in the victory as the offense moved the ball effectively both in the air and on the ground, the defense forced 4 turnovers including 2 for touchdowns and the special teams kept things in check by managing field position and throwing in a blocked punt for good measure.
The victory marks the first in John Curry's tenure as Head Coach as well as one of the more lopsided victories in Enforcers history. As always, the Orlando organization needs to be thanked for their outstanding hospitality in hosting us and we wish them luck with the remainder of their season.
GAME NOTES:
QB CHRIS PAZAN 20 OF 39 PASSING, 311 YARDS AND 3 TDS
ROOKIE RB BRANDON BROOKS, 10 CARRIES FOR 71 YARDS
WR BOB SLECHTER, 7 CATCHES FOR 145 YARDS AND 1 TD
DB'S GEORGE HICKEY AND PIERRE MEEKS EACH WITH A PICK 6
VETERAN DB LUIS ESCOBEDO WITH HIS 1ST CAREER INT
PK CHRIS LENTI WAS A PERFECT 6 FOR 6 IN PAT'S
The Enforcers travel to Columbus, Ohio on April 7th for their next match up. This promises to be a great contest between the two mid-west rivals. Columbus will be led by bruising RB Derek Acosta and a misdirection based offense that compliments their a punishing defense and as always a sound coaching staff that is tremendous at game planning. Columbus finished as runners up in the Division II race in 2017 and is always considered one of the more physical match-ups for any of its NPSFL opponents.
The Enforcers trail in the all-time series with Columbus 2 games to 3. The Enforcers have won the last two meeting between the teams with most recent match-up coming in Columbus in 2016.
