Diablos

Williams is a product of Trimble Tech High School in Fort Worth playing football and running track. In 1978, he moved his career to Tarleton State to play football and major in communications. Although he did not finish his degree, he gained insight in communications that has served him well.

Over the years, Williams has been on TV interviewing basketball players, calling games, and eventually, learning how to produce TV shows. The results have led to the Williams Family Sports Group, an organization that owns a video/TV production company, a management company that handles event promotion, a second hand sports store (The Sports Gig) and oversees the five franchises he owns. Williams owns three indoor football teams, a basketball team and a baseball team.

Among his five sports franchises, four make their home in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Williams will be starting a baseball team based out of Cleburne in Johnson County beginning in the year 2010. They will be known as the Johnson County Rustlers. The basketball team, known as the Tarrant County Regulators, will start in the Spring of 2010.

Regulators

The other two are indoor football teams, the Tarrant County Diablos and the Texas Regulators. The Diablos are set to play in the Independent Indoor Football Association while Williams is still trying to decide where the Regulators are going to play. He is looking at the Southern Indoor Football League as a possible home for the Regulators.

The fifth of his franchise is an indoor football team in Odessa, the Rustlers, who will play their games in Midland. The Rustlers, who Williams calls his AAA team, will be the team top tier team for his organization. Williams is also unsure what league the Rustlers will play in, but he is looking at the Southern Indoor Football League as well.

Williams, has more on his mind than just winning games and championships. He wants to develop players, not just as athletes but as people. He has set his teams up as non-profits and is securing partnerships with such programs as the Texas Workforce Commission. His hope is to help improve the lives of young men. He wants to be involve in job placement and development and help with academic improvement for those that want to go to college.

Williams has two newly acquired projects that will further his goals. He has been asked to conduct an indoor football league this fall in Arlington at the Arlington Indoor Center. The games will feature 7 on 7 and 15 members on the roster. Coaches, teams or players are invited to contact the league to play. His second project is a college club football team. It will based out of Odessa and include students from the neighboring colleges. Players will have access to development and scouting video.

The first game for the Arlington Indoor Football Association will be September 19 and games will run through November 15. Try-outs for the league will be sometime in late July.

For those interested in trying out for the Diablos or the Regulators, try-outs will be held on August 8, 2009. Further, Williams is also planning on conducting a combine on September 12 at the Arlington Indoor Center which will include video recording of players doing drills which can be used for getting noticed for other indoor teams such as the AFL 2.
