Jaworski’s Arena team set for championship game

PHILADELPHIA — Here’s one “Jaws” sequel Ron Jaworski hopes ends up better than the original.

Jaworski’s last trip to New Orleans with a championship on the line was a dud. The Philadelphia Eagles lost the Super Bowl to Oakland and one of the great quarterbacks in franchise history never made it back.

Now Jaworski has another football title at stake in the Big Easy. The former Youngstown State star traded calling plays in the huddle for calling the shots from the front office as the team president of the Arena Football League’s Philadelphia Soul. In only their fifth season, the Soul have reached the ArenaBowl in New Orleans and Jaworski expects to end with the kind of victory celebration he was painfully denied 27 years ago.

“We’re going to win,” said the always affable Jaworski.
