Kaleo Shines In Arena League



July 7, 2000

Former Maryland quarterback John Kaleo is enjoying an impressive season in his seventh year in the Arena Football League. The former Terrapin star is featured in this week's Tampa Bay Storm media game notes as they prepare for their final regular season game, with the Milwaukee Mustangs.

The Storm finish their tenth regular season Saturday night with a chance to clinch a playoff berth and win their seventh game of the season to secure at least a .500 record. After the first three weeks of the season, tonightıs possibility of a 7-5 record seemed bleak.

The team was off to their worst start in franchise history at 0-3, then the Storm got a spark from AFL-journeyman John Kaleo who was now with his seventh different team in seven seasons. Kaleo has led the team to a 6-2 record over the last eight games, which include wins over Orlando and Nashville and two 70-point contests. With Kaleo came his former teammate James Bowden who broke the team-record for all-purpose yards in his first home game and then shattered it by 60 yards in his second.
