Cleveland - This offseason Russell Monk stayed with his sister while doing landscaping in Minnesota. Now Monk's tough running has helped change the Cleveland Gladiators' landscape and has them looking forward to the Arena Football playoffs.
The fullback out of St. Ambrose University is second on the team in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Also Monk plays a little defense, he has 13 and a half tackles and two fumble recoveries.
The Gladiators won a division title Friday night -- and kicked Pittsburgh to the curb in the process.
The Gladiators scored 20 consecutive points to open the fourth quarter and defeated the Power, 67-55, at The Q.
Rookie quarterback Kurt Rocco went 25-of-35 for 297 yards and eight touchdowns as the Gladiators (10-7) clinched the American East and eliminated the Power (8-9) from the postseason. One game remains in the regular season.
Cleveland secured the No. 2 seed in the American Conference and a first-round home game in the Arena Football League playoffs.
