First Off-Season Summit
Held in August
Portland, OR - Spring boarding off of last October's
poorly attended first attempt, Ownership groups from around
the Northwest met in Portland Sunday August 1st and this
event got off to a great start. Those in attendance
have reported that the meeting made great strides towards
getting owners on the same pages as far as how to operate
quality football teams and work together. One attendee
reported; "there will never be a complete unification of the
northwest, it's just not possible, but that's not what this
meeting was about. So much misinformation has been
spread around, that FINALLY some owners got to meet
face-to-face and instead of hearing message board rumors
about so-and-so, got to see for themselves who the men and
women are putting quality teams on the field. A lot of
stuff was able to be laughed off after realizing these
people aren't the devils they've been made out to be by
other people who opted not to attend and prefer to sit on
the sidelines stirring up trouble without coming up with
reasonable solutions". Topics included team
organization, structure, season start and finish dates,
regional alignments, officiating, and financial
presentations. Another meeting is being planned with
ongoing committee meetings via phone and emails.
Monarchs Stumble on Final Hurdle to Perfect Season
|
Las Vegas,
Nevada - August 7, 2010 - In the
most anticipated gridiron battle of
the 2010 Winter/Spring AAA Season.
The MLFCS #1 Ranked Portland
Monarchs, winner of the 2010 Oregon
Football League Championship faced
the MLFCS #2 Ranked Glendale
Bulldogs, winner of the 2010 Copper
State Football league Championship
with the 2010 MLFCS AAA National
Championship on the line. The fans
of the two teams were treated to an
offensive demonstration that saw
several lead changes and dramatic
swings in momentum.
The first
offensive play of the game saw the
Portland Monarchs execute a
perfectly timed play-action pass for
a touchdown. The highlights reel for
both teams for this night would fill
up a movie script as the aerial
display of both teams filled the
desert night sky to match the
distant lightening strikes of a
threatening storm in the area.
At the end of
the contest, it was Glendale
Bulldogs 47 - Portland Monarchs 24.

2010 GNFA Champions

13-0 Portland Monarchs
The Hermiston Hurricanes of the WFL have
forfeited the GNFA Championship to the Portland Monarchs.
Unfortunately this means we will not be able to bring you
the excitement of a game this weekend and all here at the
GNFA are along with the OFL extremely disappointed with the
Hurricanes decision to not play the game as scheduled.
The Monarchs, winners of 34-straight Northwest games will
await word on their next game and we will keep you informed
as soon as we confirm an opponent, date and location.
The WFL vs OFL All-Star game was also canceled along with
all slated activities for Championship Weekend.
