The North Texas Stampede enters the 2012 season as one of DFW’s premier semi-professional football teams.  The Stampede will begin their 11th year as an organization, the longest of any semi-pro team in the DFW area.

The Stampede finished first in the Metro Division of the Minor Professional Football League (MPFL) in 2011 with a 9-1-1 record.  2010 was their first year in the MPFL after moving from the Texas United Football League.   They ended up number 16 in the SemiPro BCS national rankings.

Though their playoff campaign was cut short by division foe Wichita, the Stampede are looking for men to help them win the MPFL Championship in 2012.

Tryouts for the Stampede are held at their weekly practice; Sundays at Eastern Hills High School, 5701 Shelton Street, Fort Worth, TX 76112 at 3pm.  Their first full pad practice is this Sunday!

Coach Shaun Freeman enters his seventh year as the head man for the Stampede.  He will be joined on the sideline by Jamie Mele (O-Line) and James Childers (WR’s).

Jason Goss, former player of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats and most recently Edmonton Eskimos, will serve as a player-coach with responsibilities as the defensive coordinator.  Patrick Porter, a 4 year semi-pro veteran, enters his 10th year as the Stampedes owner.

The Stampede will once again play their home games on Pennington Field in H.E.B.

The 2012 schedule isn’t out yet, but the Stampede will host a Toys-For-Tots game in December.

The MPFL adds four from the DFW area

August 1, 2011 By 1 Comment

MPFL Announcement

The Minor Professional Football League has added four teams from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  Joining the MPFL are the 2011 Texas United Football Leageu Champions Cooke County Outlaws, the Collin County Rattlers and two new teams, the Dallas Warhawx and the Tarrant County Calvary.

After a successful debut year in the TUFL, the Outlaws are bringing their high powered offense to the MPFL.  The TUFL has stated on its website that the Outlaws were dismissed due to improper benefits to the players by the Cooke County coaching staff.

The TUFL was in the process of informing the Cooke County Outlaws and the League membership that the Outlaws would not be allowed to return to the TUFL in 2012 as a result of key league violation in 2011. . .

Payment or reimbursment to players is a clear violation of League rules. It jeopardizes the amateur status of our young athletes with college eligibilty. The message is clear,”the TUFL will not tolerate violations jeopardizing the college eligibility of our players!”

There were other very questionable conduct and ethical violations which the league is choosing not to elaborate on, or disclose.  (TUFL Website)

According to sources with Deep End Media,  the benefits were gas cards and food vouchers for the Championship game only.  Cooke County knocked off the Hunt County Longhorns 34-16 on June 18 to win the TUFL title.

The Collin Count Rattlers is one of the newest teams in the DFW area, and in three years, the teams has made a splash including an appearance in the TUFL Championship game in 2010.  This past season, the Rattlers lost to the Longhorns 26-12 in the semi-finals after entering the playoffs as the number one seed.  Of course, the Rattlers is the home of the famous Venom Girls.

The Dallas Warhawx is a new team that will be coached by Don High, Steven Laster, Angel Rivera III and Mark Ezell.

We have learned very little about the Tarrant County Calvary.
