During a recent city council meeting, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg honored the San Antonio Warriors for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2024 BSFL state championship. The Warriors triumphed over the Texas Red Raiders in a nail-biting match that extended into quintuple overtime, securing a 20-18 victory. This championship marks a significant milestone in the team's 20-year history, during which they have consistently excelled in various leagues, including national championships in 2004 and league championships in 2004, 2009, 2011, and now 2024.

Mayor Nirenberg praised the Warriors for their dedication, leadership, and athleticism, emphasizing the importance of their legacy in the community. The team’s journey to the championship was particularly poignant, as they navigated the loss of their long-time coach, Glenn White, who passed away from cancer earlier this year. Coach White's influence was felt deeply by the team, and his memory served as a driving force throughout the season.

Cynthia Trinidad, the executive director of the Warriors Organization, also spoke at the meeting, reflecting on her long-standing involvement with the team and the local sports community. She highlighted the Warriors' commitment to integrity and excellence, noting that many players come from local high schools and aspire to continue their football careers after graduation. Trinidad called for increased community support and sponsorship to help the team thrive and maintain its status as a stepping stone for aspiring athletes.

The Warriors are looking to enhance their visibility and support within San Antonio, emphasizing their role as a minor professional team that provides a platform for players and dancers to advance to higher levels of competition. They are also updating their nonprofit status and seeking a permanent home stadium, with hopes of playing at Alamo Stadium.

The meeting concluded with a call for greater media coverage and community engagement to ensure the Warriors continue to succeed and contribute to the local sports landscape. The team's achievements and ongoing efforts reflect a commitment to fostering talent and providing family-friendly entertainment in San Antonio.
