What started out as a trip for the Cape Fear players after a great inaugural season has turned into a humanitarian endeavor.

Cape Fear Heroes owner and CEO Barbara Spigner announced Wednesday in a news conference that the team has formed a relationship with the Bahamas American Football Federation (BAFF) and will travel to Grand Bahama in November to hold football clinics.

The Heroes, who went undefeated and won the AIFA championship last season, will also hold open tryouts in Grand Bahama during that time for Bahamian players. Those who show promise may have the opportunity to play for Cape Fear in 2014.

The Heroes plan on making and keeping strong connections with the BAFF.

"We are doing this as a means to give promise to a nation," Spigner said. "We wanted to help out and increase diversity between both areas."

"At first, I didn't think it was real," Anthony said. "I've had offers before but what struck me was that the Heroes weren't trying to make this a one-time thing, which is why we agreed to do this."

The players were ecstatic about the news - perhaps no one more than wide receiver Jay Jackson.

"When I found out about the opportunity, the first thing I said is 'let me get my passport' because I am definitely ready," Jackson said. "I coach anyway, so this is in my field."

Jackson is one of six players from last year's squad signed for the 2013 season. The other five are wide receiver Tymere Zimmerman, offensive lineman Troy Bennett, defensive back JeRome Mann, and defensive linemen Dontre Brown and Quincy Malloy.

The Heroes also have signed two new players - quarterback Aries Nelson and wide receiver Tim Jones.

The final tryout to make the Heroes' roster will be held March 2 at the Crown Arena. For additional information, contact coach Charles Gunnings at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
