Gladiators take down 2022 eafl champs b.A. Reapers in week 1 27-15

Week 1 of the EAFL season was an eye opener for the defending Champs Bay Area Reapers as they took on a tough Southwest Florida Gladiator team that was more than ready for the challenge. The Gladiators controlled the game from the beginning and frustrated the Reapers all night as they handed the Reapers their first loss in 14 game 27-15. The 4 - Time Champions Gladiators applied a lot of pressure all night and the Reapers could not respond. Can the Reapers pull it together and shake it off or will this loss linger on to week 2 as they matchup against the scrappy Hernando County Hawks team.
