 The Acadiana Mudbugs are traveling back east down I-10 tonight for a rematch with the Louisiana Swashbucklers. The in-state rival game will take place at 6:30 tonight in the Lake Charles Civic Center.

The team will be departing from Baja Sports Grill at 1:30 p.m. Monday.

The Mudbugs received an unexpected week off last week after the Florida Kings were expelled from the Southern Indoor Football League (SIFL). A rescheduled game with the Kings replacement, the North Texas Crunch, will take place on Saturday, June 20. Tickets for that game will be honored at any home game.

Leading the team offensively has been Anthony Parks' 205 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Johnny Williams is trailing behind with 163 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

  With first place in the Southern Indoor Football League on the line, the Louisiana Swashbucklers proved they could go toe-to-toe for an entire fight, while the Acadiana Mudbugs struggled to get off the mat after taking the Swashbucklers’ best punch in a 56-35 Swashbucklers win Monday night.

The loss kno-cked the Mud-bugs (3-2) out of a three-way logjam atop the SIFL standings, while the Swashbuck-lers moved into first place at 5-1, just ahead of the 4-1 Austin Turfcats.

The Swashbucklers and Mudbugs will play again Saturday in Lafayette.

Both Mudbugs losses have come in Lake Charles, with identical final scores and a familiar pattern, the Swashbucklers blowing the game open in the second quarter.

Houma will look to exact some revenge on Acadiana, currently in third place in the five-team league, tonight. The Mudbugs won 31-23 on May 9 in Lafayette, though Houma led 16-13 at halftime. "We played good defense against them the first time and were in it late," Thomas said. "That game got away from us. We had a chance to win. We didn't put enough points on the board, so hopefully we will this time, but if we continue to play well on defense, that will give us a chance to win." The Mudbugs, coming off a tough 27-21 loss to the league leading Louisiana Swashbucklers (6-1), are led by quarterback Bo Bartik, who threw four touchdown passes in Acadiana's win over Houma on May 9, but was denied a potential game-winning quarterback sneak last week with under a minute to go. Bartik has thrown 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions this season and his favorite target is Johnnie Williams, who has 21 catches for 221 yards and five touchdowns. The rest of the story

LAFAYETTE, La. (June 20, 2009) -- Antonio Logan and Anthony Parks each scored two touchdowns as the Acadiana Mudbugs held the North Texas Crunch without a touchdown for a 45-6 Southern Indoor Football League victory Saturday. Sean Samuels came off the bench after starting quarterback Bo Bartik was injured and completed 9 of 13 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another as the Mudbugs (5-3) won their second straight game. Logan’s touchdowns came in the first quarter as the Mudbugs jumped out to a 14-0 lead. Parks, who had missed the last two games due to injury, had eight catches for 91 yards. Defensive back Kimmie Lewis registered his SIFL best 11th interception and also caught two passes for 27 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown.

Guts, and a Little Glory   It is Friday evening in Blackham Coliseum. A group of men in their early to mid 20s mills about; a few are stretching, one is warming up with short sprints. These are clearly athletes, chiseled arms jutting from shirtless sleeves, confident in their physicality. Brilliant sunlight filters in through slits along the side of this has-been sports arena. A rickety fan whirs and rattles somewhere out of sight. Padded barricades define a space in the middle — 50 yards long, 25 yards wide — covered with ancient Astroturf, the unforgiving-to-the-body light green stuff that disappeared from most sports arenas more than a decade ago.

This is a football field and these are professional football players. The Acadiana Mudbugs. Lots of guts, little glory. In the middle of the field, kicker LJ Daughtry, sporting an LHS Mighty Lions Football T-shirt, warms up his leg, trying 30-yarders that sail toward an elevated net edged with vertical white stripes marking a 10-foot wide goal levitating over the north end zone. He hits some, he misses others. One kick flies high and thuds off an overhead light hanging from the rafters, sending a pair of pigeons scattering.

How UL's Renaldo Delcambre ended up with the MudBugs (May story)   LAFAYETTE -- Renaldo Delcambre wasn’t through playing football after his career at the University of Louisiana ended following the 2007 season. In fact, he looked high and low for a place to continue playing, finally joining a Lafayette-based indoor football squad this year. “After my career at UL, I just decided to pursue and find any league that I could get into, whether it was CFL (Canadian Football League), semi-pro, whatever was available,” said the New Iberia native, who had tryouts with several teams last year then found a home this year with the Acadiana Mudbugs, the indoor football team based in Lafayette that opened play this year. Delcambre’s route to the Mudbugs, who play in the six-team Southern Indoor Football League, was circuitous.
