BLOOMINGTON — The Bloomington Edge delivered an impressive debut Friday for first-year coach Ameer Ismail.

Quarterback Caleb Holbrook had four rushing touchdowns and two passing and the Edge scored on all of their first-half possessions in opening the Champions Indoor Football season with a 64-20 over the West Michigan Ironmen before a crowd of 1,222 at U.S. Cellular Coliseum.

Kyle Jenkins had three of Bloomington's seven sacks and Dontae McCoy added safety. Mike McGee had two of the team's three interceptions, returning one 52 yards for a touchdown.

West Michigan jumped out to a 7-0 lead after returning the opening kick for a touchdown. But it was all Edge from there.

Holbrook tied the game with a 9-yard pass to L.J. Castille before his 1-yard sneak gave the Edge the lead for good with 5:27 left in the first quarter. A deep pass to Marcus Lewis made it 23-7 at the first quarter break.

The lead grew to 44-7 by halftime and 50-14 in the third quarter, allowing Ismail to turn the game over to his reserves.

Holbrook completed 17 of 24 passes for 199 yards.

The Edge return to action March 13 at Kansas City before returning to host Omaha on March 18.
