INDOOR FOOTBALL: Warbirds set to play first game

The West Texas Warbirds are set to play their first game in franchise history as the team travels north to face the Amarillo Venom at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Amarillo Civic Center.

The Warbirds were supposed to make their debut in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately canceled the season.

This is also the first of two consecutive meetings between West Texas and Amarillo. Both teams will play each other again June 12 at 7 p.m. at the Ector County Coliseum in the Warbirds’ home opener.
