Earl Adams, coaching with the Irving Boys Football Association for 17 years, was named head coach of the Dragons. Adams states, "As coaches, we want to lead by example â believing in them, so they believe in themselves."
Sunday, Adams will be looking for women who are serious about football and who have the drive to win. "I expect this team to learn and produce," he commented.
Nava added, "I want women who want to be a part of history...who have the heart to play football."
Tryouts, beginning at 3:00pm at the Josey Ranch Sports Complex in Carrollton, will be the second round with the new coaches in place.
