Columbus Lions' Jason Gibson was named Coach of the Year, and Danny Burnham of Rome,Ga. was named Fan of the Year for his efforts assisting the league's PR department. Daytona Beach also made some news in the indoor football ranks when arena football legend Barry Wagner joined the team in March 2007; Daytona Beach had previously attempted such a publicity stunt by signing Terry Bradshaw to a similar contract in 2006. The Osceola Ghostriders also featured former New England Patriot Greg Jefferson for one game. On June 30, the league's only championship game, the World Indoor Bowl, took place in Columbus,Georgia with the Augusta Spartans defeating the host Columbus Lions 63-60 before a crowd of 3,529. Two teams -- Columbus and Augusta -- announced on September 28, 2007 that they were moving to a reformed American Indoor Football Association for 2008. [3] The announcement came after the Daytona Beach Thunder announced they are leaving the WIFL in hopes of joining af2 for either the 2008 or 2009 season. [4].
