SAN ANGELO, TX -- The Frisco Thunder defense held the San Angelo Stampede Express scoreless in the second half and scored nine points of its own Saturday for a 28-16 Intense Football League victory in the San Angelo Coloseum.

McGee, a former North Texas standout, also posted six tackles and 72 return yards.
