After meeting with several team owners and attending a few games, we were confident that playing in the Champions Indoor Football league was the perfect fit for both parties involved” said Bland.
Darlene Jones, CIF League Commissioner had the following comments about the newest member of the CIF “Doug and his partners Terry Dickerson and Stace Smith have been building towards this moment for quite some time and we are proud to call them the newest members of our league.
In addition to their geographical location providing several of our other playing partners with another regionalized opponent, the business plan that has been implemented and developed within their organization has been excellent.
In my many years of experience, for a team to have taken the steps that they have this early in the process is quite impressive and speaks for their level of commitment of not only having a professional football franchise but the manner in which they will go about operating it. An ownership groups like theirs, that is 100% invested in what they are doing, is what we as a league look for and desire as new playing partners. The city of Mesquite will is blessed to have them representing their community. We are excited for them to take this next step in kicking off their 2016 season”
