AAFL Source has more on Team Texas' Draft.
We are still waiting on the Defensive coordinator, but Team Texas did post this coaching announcement for Tony Marciano, Howard Tippett, and Donald Hollas. Marciano will be coaching the O-Line, Tippet the Special Teams, and Hollas the superbacks.
I don't believe that this weekend's supplemental draft is being broadcast. Team Texas will have 8 picks. I'm going to be out of pocket this weekend, but if you check back on Monday I'll have all the picks with a little analysis.
Look for the drafted players to be skewed toward the offense, especially WR and OT.
Team Texas has announced two players that they will protect in the upcoming supplemental draft:
Quinten Smith – RB – Rice
Kevin Garrett – DB – SMU
The Team Texas Office sent this over. Sounds like a great program if you organize any sort of youth group:
The AAFL is pleased to announce an innovative fundraising program, where youth organizations have the ability to raise money through ticket sales for their local AAFL team.
We started this program last week, and it has already been very well received by various Church Youth Programs, high-school teams and clubs, as well as many other charitable and non-profit organizations. This program provides organizations with a fun, exciting way for their members to raise much-needed money. We have already heard from many organizations that they have never seen their kids so excited and motivated to participate in a fund-raiser.
For larger events and to kick off an organization’s fund-raising efforts; players and coaches from that local AAFL team, as well as a group of ex-NFL players are available to attend your event and speak to the group. We will match the speakers with your type of organization to ensure the message they deliver is a good fit for your organization. They deliver a powerful, positive message to these young adults; ranging from faith-based messages to anti-gang, drug, and alcohol messages. They are also happy to sign autographs and have their pictures taken with the kids.
The potential money an organization can raise is substantial, and there are generous prizes for the organization members –
· Top 3 in every Organization –
o 1st place - $250 Gift Card and 4 $53 season tickets
o 2nd place - $100 Gift Card and 4 $43 season tickets
o 3rd Place - $50 Gift Card and 4 $33 season tickets
· Top 4 in every State –
o 1st - $2000 cash prize
o 2nd - $1500
o 3rd - $1000
o 4th - $500
· Top Person between all states - $5000 cash prize
