Phil Borders (Los Angeles Angels outfielder) threw 3 TD's against Spokane in 1964.  Don Mann scored three TD's each against Bellingham and the Ramblers.He would finish as the top scorer.  Terry Spragg picked off 8 passes, while fullback Hugh Smith (Washington Redskins/Edmonton Eskimos) cleard the way for Mann. Kermit Jorgenson and Johnny O'Brien (both of Univ. of Washington) were also members of the team.  A planned trip to California following the season fell through.

 

Terry Spragg (Claremont JC, CA) would head east for a tryout with the Boston Patriots in the spring of 1966.

 

After the 1965 season ended, Mel McCain announced his resignation following the win over the All-Stars.  Lafa Lane purchased the contracts of the Warriors players and resurrected the Seattle Ramblers name for one season of play in the Pacific Football League before renaming the team the Seattle Rangers and moving to the Continental Football League.  The remaining Warrior players played one more season, but without the great players that allowed them to win 21 games in a row, the team struggled and folded after the 1966 season.
