A very special group of North Texas football players are headed to Florida for the national play-off's next week.  So far in the three rounds of play-off's, Team Dallas Metro has a scoring record of 164-0.  A Dallas football coach is taking these guys to the top!

"I'm the President of a youth organization called Yellow Jackets United. Once a year we put a All-American team together for the middle school ages to go compete in what they call Football University" said Yellow Jackets United Coach David Grubbs.

These young men come from all over North Texas and many come from single parent and low income homes.  They are looking for help in making the trip to Florida next week.

"We put together a 'Go Fund Me', it's on my Facebook page. We are going to Naples, Florida and there is only eight teams left out of sixty-four" Grubbs added.

They have until Monday to get the funds together for the trip for these amazing young men.  They need just enough to cover the travel, hotels and meals.

"Anything that we raise will go directly to that.  The total is about $340 a kid and everybody just giving a little, it all adds up" noted Grubbs.
