Kenneth Farrow carries San Antonio Commanders past Birmingham Iron

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - San Antonio head coach Mike Riley spent many Saturdays of his college career at Legion Field as a reserve defensive back for legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.

He returned to the Old Gray Lady for the third time as coach of a San Antonio professional football team – he was 0-2 in Birmingham with the San Antonio Riders of the WLAF – and finally left the confines of his old stomping grounds with a smile on his face.

The San Antonio Commanders (2-2) got a record-setting performance from Kenneth Farrow II and took advantage of two second-half turnovers, but had to hold off a late rally in their 12-11 victory over the Birmingham Iron at Legion Field.
