Tri-City Charge Sign Franchise QB to 2 Year Agreement ! At 9:02 p.m. Thursday, April 19, 2007, the Tri-City Charge made what the organization believes could be the single biggest signing thus far in the NEFL's 2007 season for any team.  Jimmy Lampron, former quarterback standout from Plymouth State College, has signed on for a two-year commitment with the Charge organization.  Jimmy has local roots as an all-state QB from Spaulding High School, he then went on to start all four-years during his attendance at Plymouth and earned All-Conference honors.  Jimmy graduated from Plymouth State last year and is currently teaching.  His combine at Plymouth was an impressive 4.5 seconds in the 40 yard dash, a bench-press of 345 pounds and a squat of 485 pounds.  Jimmy stands at 6’1” and weighs in at 215 pounds When Coach Richardson was asked about the signing he had the following statements to make.  “What can you say about a signing of this magnitude?  At this point the pedigree speaks for itself.  Now it’s just about the hardwork.  We’ve been working him out for the past couple of months and let me say this.  I’ve been involved in the New England league and the EFL for the past ten years.  Jimmy has the potential to be as good as Spiedel and Clarzell Pearl, two of the best QBs in the New England league history.  This should be a fun year for the fans to watch. His pocket presence and his quick decision making give him an edge.  He also has the speed and ability by scrambling to hurt you on the run.  The coaching staff and I will be working with Jimmy to maximize his talents.  He’s 23 years old and we feel that he has the talent to play in arena football, our brother league, which is sponsored by the NFL.  Plain and simple Tri-City Charge is a team to watch this season.”  The Tri-City Charge will be opening up this season at home against the Kennebec Valley Tigers.  Come out and see Coach Richardson, Jimmy Lampron and the rest of your Tri-City Charge take on the Tigers!                                                                                           More Photos Here!

Charge ink record holding Tailback. Sunday, April 22, 2007, at approximately 3 p.m., the Tri-City Charge signed a former Unadilla Valley standout, 25 year old Josh Foulds. The most common question asked of Josh is where is Unadilla Valley? Unadilla Valley is a high school located in Central New York State and is a neighboring town to Michigan standout Mike Hart. Josh holds the all-time leading rushing record in the Section 4 District of over 2,000 yards and received a full scholarship to a Division II school. Unfortunately, because of a family tragedy, he wasn’t able to play at the collegiate level. We talked to Coach Richardson about Foulds’ outstanding high school career. He jokingly replied, “I wish my fantasy football half-back put up numbers like he did. Seriously, we looked into his background, as we do with every new player, and we were all thoroughly impressed with the findings. The rushing records, all-star appearances, dual athlete with basketball and a high honors student – what more could a team ask for? We had him in the mini camp and it only took the staff a couple of practices to realize that his father was a coach. He ran a 4.4 at the William Penn combine in college. He definitely has the speed to be an instant impact in this league. He has a lot to prove. This is why the NEFL is a great opportunity for a player like Josh. It gives him a place to have his talents seen by scouts in Arena football and there by potentially by the NFL. Our goal is to not only have a championship caliber team, but we also want to provide a place for local talent to possibly move up the ranks. Three - four years ago you were only scouted in college or you weren’t seen. That is starting to change. The NFL is starting to recognize that too much talent is being overlooked which is why there is now NFL Europe, Arena and semi-pro.” The Tri-City Charge will be opening up this season at home against the Kennebec Valley Tigers. Come out and see Coach Richardson, Josh Foulds and the rest of your Tri-City Charge take on the Tigers!
