Lexington Horsemen Coach Mike Harmon has focused on a three-week stretch of games that will determine his team's post-season prospects.

The Horsemen defeated Albany and lost to Louisville in the last two weeks. They visit Peoria Saturday night.

.We're 1-1 in helping control our destiny for the playoffs,. Harmon said. .Everybody is jockeying for position..

Entering the weekend, the Horsemen (7-5) are seventh in the American Conference standings. Eight teams from the three American divisions make the playoffs. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/442009.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/442009.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:44 EDT
But the Fire's Bernard Jackson got to Horseman quarterback Eddie Eviston and forced a fumble which was recovered by teammate Jerome Jones, giving the Fire 40 seconds to win the game.

That's a lifetime in arenafootball2, and Fire quarterback Matt Bassuener found Tymere Zimmerman in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown with 16 seconds left.

The Fire emerged with a 54-50 victory in a burgeoning rivalry in af2 between the Kentucky teams Monday night in Freedom Hall.

The one yard Lexington needed was a positive gain that would keep the clock running under af2 rules. If Eviston had retained possession, the Horsemen would have faced fourth down, but likely could have run out the clock.]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/441092.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/441092.html Mon, 23 Jun 2008 06:48 EDT
From the beginning, Chris Royal has played arena football with a chip on his shoulder.

.I want to prove I can be a great player in all of football,. he said.

Royal, a defensive back, was arenafootball2's 2007 Rookie of the Year. He started this season in the Arena Football League, but he has bounced around among several teams.

The Lexington Horsemen signed Royal last week, and he will be in the lineup at the Louisville Fire Monday night. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/434284.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/434284.html Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:01 EDT
Throwing five touchdown passes and winning your first game as a starter often don't come off as a bad night.

Somebody didn't tell Ryan Mitch.

Starting just his second game in place of the injured Eddie Eviston, Mitch threw for five scores and 190 yards on 17-for-31 passing, propelling the Lexington Horsemen to a 40-31 victory over the Albany Conquest Saturday night before 2,777 fans in Rupp Arena.

.It's great having a victory, but I almost feel like we lost it,. Mitch said. .I just feel so bad, I feel like I let my team down with their play today.. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/433342.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/433342.html Sat, 14 Jun 2008 02:01 EDT
.Nobody beats him,. his coach says of Bryan Stallings.

.He never talks, but his 360 pounds are always there..

Yet Stallings, an offensive lineman in his fifth year with the Lexington Horsemen, is also .a gentle giant,. according to Coach Mike Harmon.

Stallings will throw his weight around Saturday night when the Horsemen face the Albany Conquest at Rupp Arena. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/426812.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/426812.html Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:42 EDT
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. . Tennessee Valley never trailed Friday on the way to a 64-48 win over the Horsemen.

Lexington was playing without standout quarterback Eddie Eviston for the first time this season. QB Ryan Mitch went 16-for-27 for 245 yards with five touchdown passes. Mitch was sacked seven times in the game.

.I thought we played with great effort tonight,. Horsemen Coach Mike Harmon said. .We had some miscommunication in the secondary tonight ... We have a lot of new guys playing together, but we aren't going to make any excuses. Our guys played hard. I think Ryan is going to be a special player and he proved that tonight..

Mitch also was the team's leading rusher with four carries for 18 yards. Wide receiver John Cooper had six catches for 112 yards with three touchdowns, while Jarrod Rouanzoin had three grabs for 60 yards with a score. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/420929.html http://www.kentucky.com/298/story/420929.html Sun, 01 Jun 2008 05:22 EDT

The Horsemen (2-1) outscored Iowa (0-2) 20-9 in the final six minutes to rally from a 32-23 deficit.

"This was our first road game this season and our first time in a hostile environment," Lexington head coach Mike Harmon said. "I thought we responded and played well together."

Eviston completed 15 of 30 passes. It marked the 10th time in his Horsemen career and the second time this season that he has thrown five or more touchdown passes.

Lexington wide receiver Tavon McGee caught five passes for a career-best 116 yards and three touchdowns.]]>
