The fans at the Toys for Tots bowl who braved the cold winds were treated to an exciting finish at Keller ISD stadium Saturday night.

Late in the fourth quarter, the DFW Xpress missed a field goal to keep them down 20-6. The DFW Avengers fumbled a pitch on the next play to turn the ball right back over to the Xpress inside the 5 yard line.

With 1:05 left in the game, James Chism snuck into the end zone for the Xpress on fourth down to bring the score to 20-13.

The Xpress recovered the onside kick and had just under a minute with no timeouts to tie the score. After a handful of plays and a couple of first downs, The Xpress just missed spiking the ball to give them one more shot at the end zone as time ran out.

At the end of the first half the score was tied up 0-0. Turnovers and wind were the story of the game early. The teams swapped fumbles, interceptions, and short punts.

The DFW Xpress struck first on a TD pass from Tre Fields to James Chism with 12:59 left in the third to go up 6-0.
The Avengers countered with 20 unanswered points. Jacob Nelson returned a fumble recovery around 85 yards for a touchdown in the third. Terry Barber found Nicc Frazier and Q McKinney within two minutes of each other for short touchdown passes.

September 10, 2010 By Leave a Comment

DALLAS, Texas ­– Legendary head football coach Gene Stallings and many former Dallas Cowboys were among those in attendance to honor the late Harvey Martin at the 2010 Harvey Martin Classic Luncheon on Thursday at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel.

Stallings speaks to the luncheon

“First of all, Harvey was a good person,” said Stallings, a Dallas Cowboys assistant coach during Martin’s career and current member of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. “He had great speed and a knack for getting off the ball and getting to the quarterback. He laughed a lot and was just a fun person to be around.”

Stallings served as guest speaker at the third annual luncheon, and was interviewed by Scott Murray, former sports director and anchor at NBC 5 and current chairman and CEO of Murray Media. Stallings spoke about his son, John Mark Stallings, his coaching career, and about Martin during his playing days on and off the field. Donovan Lewis, A&M-Commerce alumnus and current talk show host at 1310 The Ticket, served as emcee.

The luncheon honored the former Lion and Dallas Cowboys standout, who earned multiple accolades throughout his time in college and in the pros. The event gave alumni, students, fans and friends of A&M-Commerce a chance to connect with the university and foster pride in its endeavors.

“It’s a joy to be a part of this luncheon,” Stallings said. “We are very proud of A&M-Commerce and the leadership it provides to students.”

Texas A&M-Commerce will take on Angelo State in the 2010 Harvey Martin Classic at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, beginning at 5 pm. The game will be played in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl.
