We are in the process of rebuilding and reformatting all of the BatchellerPad, USHLstuff and
MusketeersStuff web pages. There are still some missing pictures, poor spacing, boarder issues and questionable spelling

In 2000 the newly formed Sioux City Attack’s joined the twenty-one team Indoor Football League (IFL). Finishing the regular season
in fourth place with nine wins and four losses. They would win in the opening round of play-offs defeating the Lincoln Lighting,
however, the following weekend they would lose to the third place Bismark Blaze. The Attack’s huge success both on and off the
field prompted the sale of the Attack to a larger market at the completion of the season.
