France’s Elite League Kicks Off 2016
La Queue-en-Brie Gladiateurs
A newcomer to the elite division in France in 2016, the La Queue-en-Brie Gladiateurs has a tradition of winning in the lower divisions.
This season will be different for them and they will have to adjust and learn to handle defeats. Despite the loss of their import quarterback and receiver, the Gladiateurs have signed two defensive players in linebackers Cameron Nowsu (Southern Methodist University) and Mathieu Masseau (Laval University).
The season may well be long for La Queue-en-Brie as in the two tuneup games against Division 2 opponents they came away with a tie against the Asnieres Hounds and a loss to the Chatenay-Malabry Musketeers.
Changes in the Gladiateurs for 2016
Arrivals: Brice JACQUES-ANDRE-COQUIN * (FR, WR, Corsairs Evry D2), Mathieu MASSEAU (Import, Canada, LB, Laval University) Cameron NOWSU (VHS, LB, Southern Methodist University, USA)
