It would be hard to imagine a player in the arenafootball2 league with a more flamboyant and emphatic touchdown dance than the Boise Burn's George Williams.
He has had plenty of practice.
No other player in the league's nine-year history has celebrated in the end zone as much as Williams has.
The seven-year league veteran was shuffling and strutting early and often Saturday night as he broke af2 career records for touchdowns and points during Boise's 77-14 blistering of the Stockton Lightning at Qwest Arena.
With 5,172 fans watching, Williams scored six touchdowns Saturday -three receiving and three rushing - and Boise's defense forced seven turnovers to give the Burn (4-1) their fourth straight win and second against Stockton (1-5) this season. Boise also defeated Stockton 51-43 on April 12.
"I thought that was as good of a game that we played all year," Burn coach Lee Leslie said.
But as good as the defense played, and as well as the offense produced, this was Williams' night.
"I wanted to get him (the records) so he could set it at home," Leslie said. "That's a lot of years, a lot of work and that's a heck of an accomplishment. He should be proud of it."
Williams has scored 171 touchdowns and 1,036 points, passing Magic Benton (2001-07) for both marks.
"It's good to get it over with, and it's good to be that (No. 1) guy, too," he said.
Late in the first quarter, Williams topped Benton's 167 career touchdowns with his second 2-yard rushing score of the night.
He set the all-time scoring record with a 17-yard reception from quarterback Royal Gill late in the second quarter. Benton previously held the record with 1,020 points.
"I'm happy for George and the offense, too," said defensive end Travis Tofi, who scored one of the Burn's two defensive touchdowns.
Williams touched the ball nine times (four receptions and five carries) and scored more often than not. When he reached the end zone, Williams capped the accomplishment with his signature celebration he calls the "Let it rain, clear it out," dance.
Fellow receiver Ahmad Harris jokingly calls William's dance the "Admire me" celebration.
"It's a little bit T.O. and a little praise to God," Williams said. "It's something to keep spirits up when we score."
That was often on Saturday.
Gill led the way by completing 10-of-17 passes for 191 yards and five touchdowns against one interception.
Stockton opened the game with a touchdown and did not score on its final 13 possessions. Stockton also returned a kickoff for a TD in the second half.
Boise's defense allowed just 84 yards Saturday and has allowed just 21 points in its last two games.
NOTES: The Burn wore white uniforms with pink trim, lettering and numbers that were auctioned off to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
