New indoor pro football team planned
Monitor Staff Reports
TERRELL–A new football team is looking for a fan base in
the Cedar Creek Lake area.
The Kaufman County Crunch is an Indoor Professional Football team which
will be playing as an independent for the 2008 season, which will run
from mid-April through July.
The Crunch will play eight regular season games at the Terrell Classic
Arena in Terrell, located at I-20 and State Highway 148.
The Crunch could possibly join the American Professional Football League
(APFL), National Indoor Football League (NIFL) or the Intense Football
League (IFL) for the 2009 season.
The Kaufman County Crunch is owned and operated by Larry and Kecia
Hendrix of Sherman, who have lived in Heartland for the last year.
Kecia Hendrix graduated from Sherman High School in 1991, and obtained
an Associate of Arts degree in General Business from Paris Junior
College in 1993.
Larry Hendrix graduated from Sherman High School in 1989, obtained an
Associate of Arts degree in Criminal Justice from Cisco Junior College
in 1991 and a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management with an emphasis
in Health and Sports Administration, with a minor in Counseling from
Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., in 1995.
Larry Hendrix played professional football as a defensive back/wide
receiver for the NFL Indianapolis Colts (1995 practice squad), the
Canadian Football League’s Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions (1997), the
NIFL Oklahoma Crude (2001) and the APFL Texas Thunder (2004).
He also served as the defensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Crude and
defensive backs coach for the APFL Texas Regulators.
Hendrix owns Unlimited Access Enterprises, a speed, agility, and
consultant company designed with the athlete in mind.
The UAE speed and agility program is committed to creating explosive,
faster, stronger, more flexible athletes, which improves athletic
performance while reducing injuries caused by weak muscles, tendons,
ligaments and lack of flexibility.
The goal of the Kaufman County Crunch is to be a contributor in the
community, Hendrix announced.
“We are here to provide the people in our community the highest quality
of family-oriented entertainment possible at an affordable price,” he
said in a prepared news release.
“It is also our intention to operate as closely to the standards of
major-league sports as possible while still maintaining the service
levels of a hometown franchise,” he added. “This specifically means
treating each and every guest (ticket holder) and partner (corporate
sponsor) with the very best in service at all times.
“Finally, we are here to promote promising athletes to play at the
highest level of professional football possible,” Hendrix added.
