Lawrence (Hollywood) Lynch one of the most exiciting players to ever play at the semi pro/minor level in DFW he is legendary in the full contact game and once was the most dominating offensive player in the game ,just some background on him in the mid to late 80's teams of the then TFL would battle to sign him to their roster.

He played for the Cowtown Cowboys who at the time was the team to beat in the TFL he was capable of scoring from anywhere on the field which was why teams wanted his services, he played flanker and would spend his off season playing flag football and was a member of the Fort Worth Vikings,and won MVP honors of the Turkey Shootout in the Vikings first tournament run he caught 6 touchdowns and had to be double covered, which was a mistake by every team they faced because the Vikings had other players who were just as good.

He played contact football well into his 40's and could still get to the end zone,he is an asst.coach in the public school system today.
