Rampage look to stay perfect in Saturday night showdown
The Rock River Rampage return to the Rockton Athletic Fields on Saturday, May 16 2026 at 6 p.m., carrying the momentum of a dominant 2–0 start and the swagger of defending NLFL champions. Through two weeks, the Rampage have been nothing short of overwhelming, outscoring opponents 78–0 and showcasing a defense that looks every bit as fierce as last year’s title‑winning unit.
Their next test comes against the Tri‑City Bulldogs, a team still searching for its footing after an 0–1 start. The Bulldogs were outscored 38–14 in their opener, and they’ll walk into Rockton facing one of the league’s hottest teams on both sides of the ball. For Tri‑City, the challenge is clear: find a way to slow down a Rampage roster that seems to unveil a new star every week.

Whether it’s explosive plays on offense or lockdown performances on defense, the Rampage have shown they can beat teams in multiple ways. Fans have quickly learned that if you blink, you might miss the moment that changes the game.
Saturday’s matchup offers more than football. Big O’s Texas BBQ will be on site serving up crowd favorites, giving fans another reason to make it a full evening at the fields. After the final whistle, supporters are invited to join the team at the Rockton Inn as players wind down—hopefully while celebrating another victory.
