XPRESS MAKE MAJOR MOVE

The DFW XPRESS made a major announcement today that they were returning to play in the TUFL (Texas United Football League) in 2011. The Xpress won the NMLF Championship in 2010 and were slated to play for a national Championship this fall. Many leagues called and wanted the 2A State Champion to join there league but after heavy consideration and positive behind closed door meetings with John Kirkpatrick(Hunt County Longhorns) Shaun Ellis(Collin County Rattlers) and Brommett(Ft Worth Avengers) and positive conversations with Larry Anding and E-mails with Gary Craig I decided the best place to play and for the Xpress to play the best competition would be to play in the TUFL. The other leagues do have some very good teams but the TUFL has better competition on a weekly basis. The Xpress has gotten the reputation as being a premier team, and for the organization to continue to grow I feel like it is important to the organization to play teams like the Longhorns, Rattlers, Avengers,Bullets,and Shreveport just to name a few teams that will make the team better. Last season we finished with an overall record of 11-2 and we played any and everyone that would stand up and play us we even had teams that was scheduled to play us and backed out the week of, but we understood why they did not want to get rolled by the train. The Xpress played two full seasons in the 07,08 year and compiled a 12-8 record since the team left, the organization has compiled a 19-4 record, so going back to the TUFL will help make the TUFL stronger and help our organization gain more notoriety. The goal this year is to win the TUFL Championship and be crowned the 3A State Champion to go along with our 2010 2A State Championship. Keep an eye on the 2011 season and see if the Xpress Train can continue to roll.
