XPRESS SET TO START PRACTICE FOR 2010 SEASON
As training camp gets closer, the Xpress are getting set to make a run at the 2010 Magnum Cup. With over 35 players returning to last years 8-2 season, anything but a championship win would be considered a failure. With 15 all stars returning 6 on an offense that finished 2nd in the league in over all scoring with over 300 pts and 2nd in the league in average pts per game at 28, the offense looks to continue to be force to reckon with. With all star wide receiver and team leader in receptions Chris Choice returning, all star wideout Rashard Manning who lead the team in Touchdowns with 11 and all star wideout John Pope who was the difference maker that took double teams off of Choice the receiving corp looks to set new team and league records in the 2010 season. Lets not forget all star T.E. David Steele who found his confidence in the middle of the season, that lead to him being known as one of the best Tight Ends in the league. Throw in most improved nominee Melvin Harris and the Xpress look to be the team to beat in 2010. The Xpress offensive line returns 4 out of 5 starters so that will make any Quarterback feel comfortable in this offense. The team will be bringing back 4 out of 5 RB'S and several newcomers all looking to be 1 of the 3 RB'S the team will keep. Now on the Defense side of the ball. The team returns 11 starters and 8 all stars, the defense gave up an average of 12.2 pts per game and that was on a defense that started 5 rookies including NMLF Defensive MVP Jeremy Rutherford the defense is poised to continue what it did last year in hopes of helping the Team win the Magnum Cup.
