Game of The Decade

The Xpress played a game down in Gainsville Texas with only 25 players against the C.C Outlaws turned out to be nail biter. The Xpress had the ball first and moved the ball pretty good only to have the drive stall. The Outlaws then received the ball and immediately got their ground game going early, with the Xpress missing 5 starters on defense, the Outlaws moved the ball quickly down the field to take a 6-0 lead early. The Xpress answered right back with a 17 yard T.D. reception by all time reception leader Chris Choice. The extra point was fumbled and returned for 2 Pt's for the Outlaws and the score was 8-6. The Xpress then turned over the ball and C.C. went back to work this time with passes and runs to take a 16-6 half time lead. The Xpress players still had the feeling that they could win. After halftime the Outlaws received the ball drove the length of the field and scored again to make the score 24-6. On the kick-off Mr. excitement Isiah Johnson took the kick-off 85 yards for an Xpress T.D. and just like that the score was 24-13, but the Outlaws were not done scoring. The Outlaws this time went to the air and scored on a 65 yard T.D. pass and push their lead to 32-13. The Xpress still had a sense of pride and determination.
