CORPUS CHRISTI - Hammerheads owner Chad Dittman is ready for 2012. A few months ago he wasn't sure if he'd even be with the Hammerheads for this upcoming season, as he was valley bound to take care of the day to day operations for the RGV Magic, while Joe Kramer handled the Hammers.
But things have changed, and once again Dittman is the man behind the behind fish, who are in a new league called the Lone Star Football League, which features all Texas teams.
"My goal is to build stability in the league and stay in it for 10 years, and we don't wanna keep hopping leagues we just wanted to get back to an all Texas league and we think we got it right this time," said Dittman.
Dittman went onto to say there's a 90% chance Dustin Almond will be back as the team's Head Coach, but did mention that Almond is currently in the running for a high school coaching job outside of the state.
The Hammers and the LSFL are also working vigorously to reach out to the community, with a number of strategies. First off, if you are a season ticket holder you can use your ticket to attend any game at any venue, the league is also giving away 1,000 tickets to the armed forces.
"Just trying to get back into the community and give back as much as possible, this is our 9th year and the community has been great," said Dittman.
Open tryouts for the Hammerheads will be held at the first of the new year, while the team wont have their first game until the last week of March.
Below is the Hammerheads schedule for the 2012 season.
