San Antonio’s Unsung Football Champions!
DEDICATION TO COACH GLEN WHITE
Many in San Antonio would say they have never heard of the San Antonio Warriors Football Team, but they are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year playing and winning since 2004! In their inaugural year, the Warriors were undefeated and won the Central Division, Southern Conference, and the TUFL (Texas United Football League) League Championship The Warriors were also the Red River Classic Champions, which was a National Championship held in Joplin, Missouri
From 2005 through 2008, the San Antonio Warriors maintained a winning record in the TUFL (Texas United Football League) and accumulated four Central Division Championships and two Southern Conference Championships.
In 2009 the San Antonio Warriors moved to the NMLF (National Minor League Football) and were undefeated. They won their Division, Conference, and League Championships. They were also Texas State Champions in 2009
From 2010 through 2012, the San Antonio Warriors moved to the MPFL (Minor Professional Football League) and won three Division Championships, two Conference Championships, and were League Champions in 2011. The Warriors were also National Champions in the Semi-Pro BCS for the Winter-Spring
Since 2013 the San Antonio Warriors have been members of the Xclusive League in CRAFL (Crossroads Amateur Football League) known as the XFL, the revamped
MPFL (Minor Professional Football League), and BSFL (Big Southern Football League), and BSFL (Big Southern Football League). The Warriors returned to the TUFA (Texas United Football Association) in 2020 however the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The Warriors moved to the BSFL (Big South Football League) in 2021and were the BSFL Central Hills Conference Champions In 2022 the Warriors were the BSFL Alamo Division Champions and in 2023 they ended the season 9-2.
The Warrior Organization has been providing another choice to football fans in San Antonio to enjoy an authentic football experience in an outdoor venue with family friendly admission prices, concessions, no extra service charges and with free parking.
For many years the Warriors organization have volunteered many hours and given back to the community with community outreach, appearances, parades, hospital visits and for many years held a charity Toy Bowl game where entrance to the game was to bring a new unwrapped children’s Christmas gift for Toys for Tots, Ronald Mc Donald home, St. PJs or other organization.
In the beginning of the 2024 season, they lost their beloved head coach, Glen White, to cholangiocarcinoma a rare form of duct cancer that metastasized to the liver during preseason Coach White founded the team and was the owner, head coach and offense coordinator As of 2024, the coach and his team are the winningest semi-professional football team in Texas
The reason not many have not heard of the Warriors is because they have not had any sponsors or budget for advertising. The coach’s focus was winning games, molding boys to men, and players to champions. The program was put together on what you might say a “football cleat shoestring.”
Many other professional and semi-pro football teams came and went in San Antonio, but the Warriors had
consistency, heart, and a coach that loved to win.
Football players come to the Warriors to play and are willing to volunteer and contribute to have all that was needed to play the game. The Coach was always transparent with them and never promised more than he could do He was a Christian and a Military Veteran and lead with an iron fist and was respected and loved by many
The Warriors dedicated the 2024 season and their BSFL Championship to their late head coach/owner Glen White. They celebrated their championship by marching in the July 4th Stars & Stripes Centro San Antonio downtown parade down Houston Street to the Alamo Plaza carrying the championship trophy and the photo of their late head coach and are being presented a city citation award in city council chambers by the Mayor of San Antonio for winning the championship!
Coach White elevated the Warriors to a winning minor professional football level and his Warriors were not just another semi-pro football team He elevated game-day and was proud to provide affordable football games to San Antonio
football fans with game-day opening ceremonies, game-day music, cheerleaders/dancers, announcers, concessions and would play in nice stadiums when he could
At almost midnight on June 29, 2024, the San Antonio Warriors defeated the two-time defending champions, Texas Red Raiders, in quintuple overtime (NCAA overtime rules) to win the 2024 BSFL State Championship for San Antonio! The nail-biting game was held in a neutral stadium in Ganado, Texas. The final score was 20-18. It was a joyful and tearful victory!
The Warriors are looking to continue the coach’s legacy but will need the community’s support and financial backing They are looking for corporate and local businesses for sponsorship
During the San Antonio Warrior’s existence, many of their players have moved to pro teams in the AFL, CIFL, LSFL, PIFL, and NAL and many of the Warriors Cheerleaders/Maiden Dancers have moved on to perform in the WNBA, NBA, AHL, MLS, IFL and NFL.
