NOTES: Thunder closes out its 2008 home schedule against undefeated Corpus Christi ... A victory would give Frisco its fifth home victory, one more than the inaugural season record of 4-3 ... Hammerheads are one of two teams Frisco has yet to beat; defending champion Louisiana ... Almond was the league's leading passes for Frisco last season while Cooper led the Hammerheads to consecutive Intense Bowl appearances ... Cooper leads the league in total yards per game ... This is Hammerheads first road game of the season ... Redford and Madison are the IFL's top two rushers in per game average ... Morris and Anderson are 1-2 in receptions per game ... Morris is only one of two IFL receivers averaging over 100 yards per game receiving (Fairbanks' Solomon Jones is the other) ... Frisco defense gets LaMont Finley and Chris Glenn back after a week's absence; Glenn's reason for missing the Odessa game: He got married .... Both Thunder losses have occurred on touchdowns in the final six seconds ... Last week's 46 points was the team's lowest output of the season ... Former Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin will appear in pre-game ceremonies and will oversee the coin toss.
NEXT: at Odessa 4/19 7:11 p.m.
