Former Shaw High School star Troy Bergeron's Arena Football League playoff highlight reel includes the stellar one-handed touchdown catch he made last week.
Because of a knee injury Bergeron suffered later in that game, the Georgia Force may be missing two of its best hands when it hosts the Columbus Destroyers in today's National Conference Championship game.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Atlanta's Philips Arena. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN.
If the Force (14-2) wins, they will advance to ArenaBowl XXI in New Orleans on July 29. They find themselves one win away from the league championship game partly because of Bergeron's contributions to an explosive offense.
Bergeron, a 6-foot-2, 190-pounder, has set career-highs this season with 132 catches for 1,736 yards and 41 touchdowns. He and Chris Jackson (145 catches, 1,915 yards, 47 TDs) became the first receiving tandem in AFL history to each post 130 catches, 1,700 yards and 40 touchdowns in a single season.
Georgia Force spokesman Brian Cearns said Bergeron is questionable for the game. He said Bergeron's availability will be a game-time decision.
Bergeron, who scored three touchdowns in last week's 65-39 win over the Philadelphia Soul, spent part of last fall on the practice squad of the Buffalo Bills.
