Warriors have made their own history!
The Wisconsin Warriors finished their 4th IWFL season completely opposite of what everyone expected of them. The Warriors began their 2011 season with a change in command. A young, raw coaching staff, had big shoes to fill. The Warriors have never had a perfect season as few teams ever do. So why would the Warriors? Starting on the road, this re-energized team took it to the Cougars and stomped over everyone else in the Midwest Division, allowing just over 30 points to be scored on them all season long. Having the honor to host the playoffs, the Warriors welcomed the Shockwave of Portland to their house and battled every second of the game - becoming victorious once again. YOUR Warriors are now 9-0! With a 3 week gap between playoff rounds, the Warriors prepped for an even bigger game - The Quake of California. Coach Penn and his Quake came to play, outscoring the Warriors and claiming the Western Conference Championship title. The Warriors already have their sights aimed at the 2012 IWFL Championships - Tryouts start back up in October!

Thank you!

Warriors advance to Conference Championship Game!
The Warriors welcomed the Portland Shockwave, Saturday June 25th, for the first round of IWFL playoffs. The game was a nailbiter from the first kick off until the final buzzer. The Shockwave scored first only to have the Warriors fight right back and go into the locker rooms at halftime up 7-6. The Warriors came back to score again in the 2nd half and held the Shockwave scoreless until there was about 2 minutes left in the game. The Shockwave scored that final touchdown but was stopped at the 3 yard line when trying to convert the 2 point. Thus giving the Warriors the ball with 57 secs left on the clock and allowed the Warriors to take a knee and advance to the Conference Championship game with a 13-12 victory. The IWFL Western Conference Championship game will be held in Kenosha, Saturday July 16th at 3pm. Tickets are $10 at the gate. Orange tickets will not be accepted.

Warriors finish 2010 as Midwest Division Champions
The Warriors finished their 3rd season as the 2010 IWFL Tier 2 Midwest Division Champions. The Warriors travelled to the Bay Area Bandits, July 10th and suffered a hard fought loss 35-2. The Warriors look to rebuild during the off season and come back fighting in 2011!

Wisconsin Warriors have made IWFL history!
The Wisconsin Warriors finished their IWFL season like the Cinderella story it began as. The Warriors began their 2009 season full of doubt and uncertainty. No one would have imagined that they would have made it all the way to the big show, much less have a chance at winning it. The Warriors gathered all their might and trekked on down to Round Rock Texas. With temperatures over 120 degrees on the field, the Warriors came to battle the defending champion Montreal Blitz. The Blitz appeared to not take the Warriors seriously right out of the gate, as the Warriors score first. The Warriors continue to score and only allow 2 touchdowns to be scored on them. Final score? 42-14! THE WARRIORS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! The Warriors have made IWFL history as the youngest franchise to win a championship and the smallest rostered team to win a championship. Thank you to everyone who supported us in our journey this season. Tryouts start back up in October!
