THE NMLF

The NMLF has a core of strong teams that make this leagues level of competition fierce. Lets take a look at the core teams.1st you have the North Texas Falcons, they are based out of Wichita Falls Texas, the owner is Boyd Branch, they have a winning tradition, the organization has won over 100 games, they finished 8-2 last season, they play their games at Memorial Stadium which is one of the premier stadiums in Texas. They are one of only a few teams that consistely draw a crowd of over 1000 fans to each game, and they are the only franchise that has their own bus for travel.They also finished 1 game from the NMLF championship in 2009. 2ND the San Antonio Mavericks, they are based out of San Antonio Texas, they finished 5-5 made it to the NMLF playoffs in 2009, they are one of a few franchises that have had over 3000 fans to a home game on more then 1 occasion,their organization is excellent on marketing their franchise and they have a strong fan base.3rd the ATX Tigers, they are based out of Austin Texas they finished 6-4 and made the 2009 NMLF play-offs as a 5Th seed, this franchise was ranked #1 in rushing offense and had a great year as a 1st year franchise.4Th the East Texas Storm, owned by Jeff Caldwell this franchise is based out of Alba Texas right out side of Tyler, where former NFL RB Earl Campbell is from, they finished 4-6 but this franchise made the play-offs, won their Wild card game and advanced to the 2ND round where they lost a heart breaker to the Falcons in Wichita by 2pts after leading early in the game by 2 T.D.'s. That lost left a bad taste in the mouth of the Storm players and the team feels that with the defense they had which was ranked in the top 5 in 2009, the Storm should have made it to the championship, and #5 the DFW Xpress ran by Head Coach/Owner Truman Vernon this Franchise is coming out of it's 3rd year coach Vernon and his staff have guided the Xpress to a 20-10 record over the 3 years, the Xpress finished 8-2 in 2009 and like the Falcons were one game from the 2009 Championship, Coach Vernon says this is his last year as Head Coach of the Franchise and hopes the team can when the 2010 championship, which would be a great way to end a coaching career that has spanned over 15 years, and turn over the duties to asst Head Coach Juan Valles.
