Oregon Lightning Gear Up for Crucial Road Clash at Salina Liberty — The Comeback Starts Now

Redmond, OR — After a rocky 1-3 start to the season, the Oregon Lightning are turning the page and charging full speed into the second half of the campaign with a vengeance. The squad travels to Kansas to take on the formidable Salina Liberty this Friday, April 19, in what is shaping up to be a high-stakes showdown in the Arena Football One.

With a refreshed roster, renewed energy, and a revamped game plan, the Lightning are determined to strike back and make their presence felt across the league.

“This isn’t the same team you saw in the first few weeks,” said Head Coach Jones. “We’ve had some time to regroup, reset, and now we’re coming with a chip on our shoulder and thunder in our veins.”

The Lightning’s first quarter of the season was a rollercoaster of growing pains and flashes of brilliance. Now, fueled by internal changes and a locker room locked in on redemption, the team is embracing the challenge ahead.

Salina Liberty, known for their consistent dominance at home, won’t make it easy—but the Lightning thrive on adversity. Fans can expect a fierce, physical, and fast-paced matchup as Oregon looks to set the tone for their comeback campaign.

“This game isn’t just another on the schedule,” said Lightning Players. “It’s the start of something bigger. We’re ready to shock the league.”

Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT at Tony’s Pizza Events Center. The game will be streamed live on the Evergreen NOW Tv!
