History
The Hammerheads were a charter member of the Intense Football League. The Hammerheads are coached by Ex-University of Houston QB and former IFL Star Jason McKinley, son of former NFL player Bob McKinley, and led by a strong supporting cast of players such as quarterback Wes Cooper, wide receiver Shomari Buchanan, tight end Matt Ross, and linebackers Roy Salas and DeAndrae Filmore. They played their home games at the Memorial Coliseum in 2004 and at the American Bank Center in 2005 and 2006, both of which are in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The team did not return to the American Bank Center for 2007 after the arena decided not to renew the team's lease. [1] Plus, it was the home of the af2 team, the Corpus Christi Sharks. In 2007, the Hammerheads played in the Central Pavilion Arena in nearby Robstown, Texas. [2]. After the Sharks folded, the Hammerheads announced they were returning to the American Bank Center for the upcoming 2010 season. [3]
For the 2011 season, the Hammerheads joined the Southern Indoor Football League. Finishing at 7-5, the Hammerheads lost to the Louisiana Swashbucklers in the first round of the playoffs. After the 2011 season, the Hammerheads left the SIFL to help start the Lone Star Football League.
