The Alaska Wild ended an 18-game losing streak going back to 2008 with a 48-39 win over the Kent Predators in a professional Indoor Football League game Monday night in Anchorage.<\/p>\n
Kent dropped to 0-2 in the Pacific North Division. The Predators make their home debut against the Fairbanks Grizzlies (2-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the ShoWare Center.<\/p>\n
Kent quarterback Charles McCullum threw five touchdown passes and ran for another score. Kent receivers Andre Jordan and Travis Poole had two touchdown catches apiece.<\/p>\n
The Predators led 6-3 before Alaska rattled off 20 consecutive second-quarter points via a Donald Carrie touchdown pass, an Andrew Carich run, and an interception return for a score of a McCullum pass to go up 23-6.<\/p>\n
Kent cut the lead to 23-18 at halftime on McCullum touchdown passes to Jordan and Poole.<\/p>\n
In the second half, the Predators failed to regain the momentum they were building in the first half.<\/p>\n
The penalties that haunted Kent in its first game against the Billings Outlaws were an issue once more and gave the Predators a disadvantage in field position and sustaining drives.<\/p>\n
Alaska had an 0-14 record last year in the IFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
