In 1997, Rob Castleman and a small group
of players from southern Oregon created the Douglas Outlaws and competed
as a independent team in the NWFL (then called the Pacific Football
League 'North'). The Outlaws, located in Oakland, Oregon played games
against the teams from the PFL. At the same time, another Oregon team
called the Southern Oregon Timberwolves played the same type of
independent schedule in the PFL South (Northern California). At the
conclusion of that year, both teams decided Oregon needed its own
league. Although the Outlaws remained the same, the Timberwolves broke
up with players from the 'Wolves forming 3 separate teams; the Rogue
Warriors, the Rogue Valley Blaze (both from Medford), and the Klamath
County Crusaders (Klamath Falls).
In 1998, the Douglas Outlaws finished with an overal 2-5 record (1-5 in
league).
In 1999 and 2000, the Douglas Outlaws showed a little improvement, but
so did the rest of the OFL. Hence, the Outlaws finished both seasons 1-7
and 1-6 respectively.
In 2001, the OFL saw the perennial powerhouse Rogue Warriors roster
decimated by a local arena league pro team that opened the door for the
Outlaws who finished the OFL season 5-2 culminating in a 3-2 win over
the Crusaders for the Outlaws first and only OFL championship.
The 2002 season would be the last for the Outlaws in Douglas County
going 1-7 on the year. After that season, the Outlaws changed locations
setting up camp in Coos Bay, OR. changing their name from the Douglas
Outlaws to the Southwestern Oregon Raiders. Opening the Door for the
Umpqua Valley Knights to set up shop in Roseburg.
