Quarterback John Reaves topped Kelly with 473 yards and 3 touchdowns. 233 of those yards went to Willie Gillespie. Running back Gary Anderson added 128 yards and two more touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/summary-1-1024x311.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/summary-1-1024x311.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/summary-1-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/summary-1-768x233.png 768w, https:\/\/www.distantreplaysports.com\/usfldr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/summary-1.png 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In their first ever game, the Houston Gamblers outgunned the Tampa Bay Bandits, 44-41.
