Despite their Inaugural Season being put on hold, the Tampa Bay Tornadoes and the rest of the AAL are showing no signs of slowing down.
The Tornadoes recently hosted a few scouting and try out events to get a look at some untapped local talent from the Tampa Bay Area. I am sure many former players from some the the areas top high schools came out to see if they have what it takes to play in the AAL.
Right now my favorite player on the team is lucky number 7 Brion Carnes. The former 4 year starter at Manatee High school showed what he had on the pro level putting up 2,780 yards and 55 TD for the Cedar Rapids Titans of the IFL. I definitely need to add a Carnes Tornadoes jersey to the collection.
As of now no word has been officially said if the 2020 season is canceled but with the NAL and IFL both making cancellations of their season’s I am sure the AAL will follow suite. An announcement on the season is supposed to be made on July 25th.
If I have to wait until the 2021 season to see my Tampa Bay Tornadoes take the field against the rest of the rising AAL than so be it. It just gives the team more time to put the best product on the field, hopefully bringing more Championships to the Tampa Bay.
