The Seattle Mist take their 2-0 record on the road this week to face the 2-1 Los Angeles Temptation. Awhile back I had a chance to chat with Seattle Mist’s very own, Harper Boiz. Enjoy the read!
Matt Field- Thanks for the time Harper. How’s the team looking? How important has the coaching staff been in getting the team ready for Friday night?
Harper Boiz- The team is looking great and the coaching staff has been extremely important in getting us ready. The coaches are the core and foundation to our “family”. They provide discipline, structure, knowledge and direction. Our team is very fortunate to have an amazing head coach, Coach Rob Long, as well a very well rounded staff. The coaches have molded us into the players and family that we are today. We truly owe them everything – Thank You!
Matt- Seems that it is all coming together nicely. How did you get your start in the league?
Harper- I first heard about the league a day or two before the Seattle tryouts from one of my co-workers. Having grown up with two brothers and being an athlete with a huge love for sports, I thought I would check it out. Seattle’s tryout was every guy’s fantasy. Wet, muddy, girls playing football. I immediately fell in love with the league and have been a Seattle Mist ever since.
Matt- Well, the league definitely has the attention of men worldwide. Besides the obvious, what will fans be most impressed by when they attend the games?
Harper- Yes, fans will enjoy beautiful women playing football in lingerie. But not only that, we can play! We have a few tricks up our sleeves, don’t expect us to just run the ball every play. Fans will be impressed by how diverse the talent is on our team. The football world will not know what hit them!
Matt- Can’t argue with you there. I have seen the girls practice and play, there is some serious talent on the field. What does Harper Boiz bring to the game?
Harper- I am a competitior, I have been my whole life. I refuse to lose. I know the game and all the positions. I am focused on my craft and making what I do on defense flawless. I know the power of repetition and will practice until perfection is achieved. I want the Mist to go all the way to the Championship and come out victorious.
Matt- As I have been meeting the players, the fire that the girls have for this game is amazing. What keeps you motivated?
Harper- A hard day’s work motivates me. I don’t like to be given things easily. When you work hard to earn something, there is a sense of pride, self-satisfaction and accomplishment. I know what I want out of life and what it will take to get there. Ultimately, I think that my future is what motivates me and the curiosity of what it can be.
Matt- Sound like you know what you want out of life. What are some of your interests off the field?
Harper- I love to dance. I love nutrition, I majored in it in college. I love to run. Reading and writing have always been favorites of mine. I am obsessed with traveling and learning about other cultures and outlooks on life. I love being near water and for the most part, I just like to stay busy. Rarely do I ever have a “down” day where I just sit on my butt and watch TV.
Matt- No TV?! What about the NFL? Do you have a favorite player?
Harper- I play defense so I like to watch and study individuals that play the same position that I do. The position of cornerback goes hand in hand with the name Deion Sanders, but I also have to say Marcus Trufant, of the Seattle Seahawks of course! He is not only a very physical player but can pick off a pass as well.
Matt- I’ve been asking all the questions. How about you tell me five things that the fans should know about Harper Boiz.
Harper- I am a vegan ( no meat, dairy or animal byproducts of any kind) I’ve been that way my whole life. I Hawaiian dance and play the native instruments as well. Old foreign films with subtitles are my favorites, I also enjoy good slap-stick comedy. Strangely, I am allergic to cinnamon, not many people are. The chose the number 5 on my uniform in memory of my father.
Matt- I admire your vegan lifestyle but I still stand by my theory- If God didn’t want us to eat animals, then he wouldn’t have made them out of meat 
No animals have been injured in the making of this blog. I digress.
So you know and study game, that is noted, but can you ‘trash talk’?
Harper- Ha! Not sure my best stuff is appropriate, but here goes nothing… “Did you like that tackle?! Because your boyfriend did last night!” or “We’re going to beat you so bad, you will think your married to OJ!” and my favorite after a tackle “you might as well just stay down there, that’s all your good for anyways!”
Matt- Outstanding stuff! Thanks for the time and good luck on Friday!
Alright guys, the princess of the picks,
she would love the opportunity to beat yours truly at his own game. So, as my welcome back gift to Shannon, I accept this weeks NFL Pick ‘em challenge. Good luck to Shannon and even more to me

Although, I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard that one.
Craziest thing you have ever done?
After a stunning win last week at Philadelphia, the Miami Caliente (1-1) made a statement to the entire league. Philadelphia was not only the favorite to win last weeks game, but a contender to win the championship. Miami traveled to Philly and pulled off a huge upset and are flying high coming into this LFL Friday Night game versus the New York Majesty (0-1).
New York is still a young and talented. They are under new coaching and a new playbook. We should see improvements in terms of their offense as they become more comfortable with the plays. Don’t expect perfection however, most teams had since May to learn the plays, and New York has had about a month. This team has loads of raw talent, but as of now their only consistent game changer is Krystal Gray. Gray is going to literally carry the team if they are going to keep up with Miami.
