Minn Starks 17U National won its final two games Sunday to finish 2-2 in The Players’ Platform last weekend at Hyvee Arena in Kansas City, MO.
Starks was led by 6-foot-5 Duluth Marshall sophomore-to-be Brooks Johnson, a rising Division I prospect. Denfeld standouts Aidan Altona and Finnley Powell, both 6-foot-2 seniors-to-be, are also on the team.
Retirees are feeling it in an even more unforgiving way. Social Security doesn’t rise with property taxes. Pensions don’t adjust for water and sewer increases. Utility bills, groceries and insurance all climb while fixed incomes stay fixed. So seniors tighten up.
In a league defined by movement and volatility, Las Vegas remains steady, disciplined and dangerous. And that is why the road to the IFL title still runs through Henderson.
Note: The Indoor Football League is the longest-running continuously operating indoor football league in the United States and the second-longest-running professional football league overall, behind only the NFL. Founded in 2009, the IFL will enter its 18th consecutive season in 2026, firmly established as the sport’s top indoor league.
Nearly the entire 2026 IFL schedule, including playoff games and the league’s championship, will be available either on television or through widely used digital platforms such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Prime Video, Plex and other free ad-supported channels.
