STORY OF THE JAGUARS
Former football player Jeff Scott began his
Northwest Football League (NWFL) career as the Defensive Coordinator for
the NWFL Seattle Blue Devils, a position he held from 1996-1999. Prior
to the start of the 1999 NWFL season, Coach Scott began purchase
negotiations with the Seattle Blue Devils organization. An agreement
could not be reached and Coach Scott left the Seattle Blue Devils to
form the King County Jaguars.
In their maiden season of 1999, Owner and Head Coach Scott lead the
Jaguars to a 3-6 record. The 2000 season saw the Jaguars finish with a
5-7 record.
During the 2002 season, the Jaguars went 5-4 for the season and French
Field, located at Kent Meridian High School in Kent, became the official
home field of the King County Jaguars.
In 2003 the King County Jaguars acquired players from the powerhouse
Puget Sound Jets which had folded following the 2002 season and went on
to finish the NWFL regular season with the best record and
won their first ever NWFL playoff game against the Multnomah County
Buccaneers on September 6, 2003, by the score of 24 to 7. The Jaguars
then advanced to the NWFL Championship game. The Jaguars came up short
of the NWFL title loosing to the Eastside Hawks, (owned by the then
Seattle Seahawk, Sam Adams), by a score of 27 to 17.
The 2003 season also brought the King County Jaguars their first ever
North American Football League (NAFL) playoff game against the South
Ogden Rhino-Raiders in Utah. The Jaguars traveled to Utah and lost by
the score of 20-2.
In 2004 the Jaguars finished the NWFL regular season with an 8-2 record
and an 8-4 overall record. The Jaguars again traveled to play the South
Ogden Rhino-Raiders in NAFL playoff game and lost 34-18.
In 2005 the Jaguar organization brought on a new General Manager, Lorrie
Jean Rarey. Ms. Rarey, a Certified Public Accountant with a firm in
Auburn, Washington was a valuable addition to the business side of the
organization. Rarey brought on a skilled (volunteer) staff to help with
the organizations administrative duties and game day preparations. With
the business administration, staffing and finances of the organization
being handled by Rarey, Coach Scott was able to focus his full attention
on the team. He then compiled a team of football players including those
who had played for the National Champion Eastside Hawks which had
disbanded following the 2004 season, and a coaching staff with years of football
experience. This nucleus of combined talent produced the greatest team
in King County Jaguar history.
2005 saw the Jaguars win the NWFL Championship 21 to 6 over the West
Sound Saints of Silverdale, Washington. As NWFL champions the 2005 King
County Jaguar team entered into the NAFL national tournament. The
Jaguars advanced all the way to the NAFL Championship game at Disney's
Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida. There they competed
against the three time NAFL Champion Central Pennsylvania Piranha team.
The Piranha defeated the Jaguars by the score of 28 to 3.
The 2005 Jaguars advanced to the NAFL championship game by defeating two
undefeated teams: the Dallas Diesel 27-24, and the Arkansas Rhinos
55-22. The King County Jaguars ended their 2005 season as the 2005 Minor
League Football News #1 AAA Ranked Western Regional Summer/Fall
Semi-Professional football team. The Jaguars had their best winning
season ever with an overall record of 14-1.
In 2006 the King County Jaguars defended their 2005 NWFL title, again
defeating the West Sound Saints in the NWFL Championship with a score of
14 to 7. In that same year the King County Jaguars became members of the
Minor League Football Association (MLFA West). The Jaguars played for
the MLFA West National Championship against the Bay Tickets Inc. 49ers
at Golden Gate Park's historic Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, CA. In
this championship game the Jaguars held the lead against the home town
49er team at 14 to 13 for most of the game, but with 7 seconds remaining
in the game the 49ers kicked a 25 yard field goal to win the game 16-14.
The Jaguars pulled out of the NAFL playoffs after being asked to travel
to Dallas to take on the Diesel.
For 2006, the Jaguars were also the champions of the first ever Kent
Cornucopia Bowl. The Jaguars finished their 2006 season with an overall
record of 11-1. On July 29, the Jaguars opted not to play league
opponent Multnomah in favor of a more reliable opponent in the EFL's
Yakima Mavericks.
On April 1, 2007 the structure and ownership of the Jaguars changed. The
team is now owned and operated by King County Jaguars Football, LLC, an
ownership group that consisted of Jaguars long time owner, Jeff Scott,
General Manager, Lorrie Jean Rarey and her husband Rob Rarey and Norm
Larson and his wife Kim Larson, Norm is a prominent local businessman.
Norm and his wife Kim have been long time supporters of the Jaguars
through their company, Centre Pointe Consulting. The Larson’s are also
the owners of the Big Red Barn, a historical building in downtown Kent.
In 2007 the King County Jaguars won their third consecutive Northwest
Football League Championship, the Minor League Football Association West
Championship (by defeating the Blue Mountain Stars 29-0) and the NAFL
Pacific Coast Division title. On October 27th, the Jaguars faced the
defending NAFL National Champion, Dallas TX Diesel, in round four of the
NAFL playoffs. The Jaguars scored late in the 4th quarter to take the
lead on the Diesel 19-18 but on Dallas's next possession, the Diesel
drove the ball down field getting close enough to kick a 31 yard field
goal with 34 seconds remaining in the game. With less than a minute
left, the Jaguars were unable to get within field goal range and lost
the game 21-19. The Jaguars finished the 2007 season ranked #5 in the
nation by the Minor League Football News poll and #1 of all 5 Northwest
leagues, (a total of 38 teams) with a 14-1 season record.
After the Jaguars heartbreaking loss to the Dallas Diesel in the fourth
round of the 2007 NAFL playoffs, owner and Head Coach Jeff Scott made
the difficult decision to retire from coaching. He subsequently
relinquished his remaining ownership in the organization and is now
starting a new team in the Northwest Football League, the
Puget Sound
Titans.
At the end of the 2007 season, the Jaguar ownership group made the
decision to leave the Northwest Football League, where they had played
since their inception, and moved fully into the North American Football
League.
November 12, 2007 King County Jaguar WR Anthony Montgomery was named the
2007 North American Football League National All-Star Player of the Game
in Vegas Nevada. On December 8, 2007 Jaguars long time Coach, Jeff
Scott, was inducted into the Minor-League Football Hall of Fame in
Mesquite Nevada.
On January 4, 2008 the King County Jaguars announced the hiring of
veteran player and coach, Mike Astley, as the Jaguars new Head Coach.
The Jags struggled in the NAFL NW eventually playing its final games of
2008 with only 17 players but inexplicably 25 "All Star" selections from
a 4-6 team while Champion British Columbia had only one.
2009 Did not start out any better as the Jags were
blasted in their first three outings by a combined 134-0. They
finally broke through in the win column with a victory over the hapless
Thunder of the CFL. The Jags finished 2-10 in 2010, their final
defeat coming at the hands of the Portland Raiders in the NAFL Northwest
playoffs.
Following the 2009 season, coach Astley left to
form the Eastside Xtreme and the Jaguars franchise slipped into history. |
