On Oct 14, 1973 the Cavaliers played a
doubleheader, losing to UBC under Canadian rules and then defeating the
Whatcom County Lakers in Memorial Stadium at Seattle High School
following a 15-minute break between games.
Bob Cason was cut by the Seahawks on
July 13, 1976 after being signed as a defensive back.
In March of 1990 a Seattle Times article reported:
"Newport's new artificial football turf
will become home next season for a local semipro team, the
Seattle Cavaliers. This is the team's 51st season. Phil
Pompeo returns as head coach after taking 1989 off. The team
will hold a minicamp at Newport May 5, then start practices
June 11. Paul Roberts, 6-feet-6 290-pound tackle from Mercer
Island, is on the roster, Pompeo said. Roberts will compete
in track at the University of Washington this spring in the
shot and hammer throw. Roy Medley, who quarterbacked the
Auburn Panthers to a national playoff victory in 1986, also
has joined the squad. The Cavs' schedule has three games in
California, one in Wisconsin and one in Alabama."
That schedule would never be achieved
as the Cavaliers franchise folded following the victory over
the Sno-King Blue Knights. It would end one of the
longest running franchises in minor league history.
Most players would surface with the Eastside Express.
