You
may not know it but there are two Oklahoma Thunder teams in that are
now in the hunt for a championship.
Of
course there's the N.B.A. Team from Oklahoma City, but there's also
the Oklahoma Thunder Football Team that plays at LaFortune Park.
The
difference between the two, is that the football team has already won
3-championships since they started play in 2008.
It's
a great way to get a football fix all summer long.
President
and General Manager Steve Roper says its not semi-pro ball.
It's
a professional team that's in business of developing young men, to
move up to
the
higher levels of professional football.
For
example A.J. Allen is a receiver and kick returner, who played in
college at Central Arkansas.
He's
listed as an alternate by the New York Giants and he's is also on the
radar of the Arizona Cardinals.
So
he's hoping to be ready, if the phone call comes.
Many
of his teammates are also hoping to show they have the heart and
talent, to take the next big step.
After
5 years of success the organization has show its serious about
putting a quality players on the field.
They're
54-2 all time, so they're doing something right
Roper
credits a professional environment that takes care of the plays and
wants to see them move up the later.
He
promises potential fans that they will see an exciting brand of
football, played by very talented young men.
Many
of the players are athletes you watched in college at O.U., T.U. and
O.S.U.
So
he promises, if you go to see them, you won't be disappointed by the
action.
Their
next home game in at 7:00 pm on July 7th.
