The Grizzlies mark their return to the top league this season after dominating the LENAF for a number of years. They will re-ignite the crosstown rivalry with Lazio which will make for raucous crowds in Rome.

Former South Carolina State starting offensive lineman Devon Dawson returns to the Grizzlies after suffering a severe shoulder injury a couple of years ago. He has spent a two years coaching the Gladiators Roma but was itching to return to play as well as coach. However, the 6’4″, 300 lb Dawson will be hard pressed to keep his team in the top division as they are playing without any other imports.
