All-America
After a one-point playoff ouster at the hands of
the Olympic Peninsula Eagles in 2008 the Thunder hoped to be a CFL
contender in 2009. Those hopes were dashed in the opener when
eventual WFL champion Wenatchee blew out Snohomish and Kitsap hung 70
the following week. The Thunder were demolished most of the season
giving up 47+ points in 8 of 11 games including 68 or more three times.
The season closed with a 39-12 loss to the winless Jaguars of the NAFL.
The Thunder like the rest of the CFL teams went
through turmoil after three weeks when the league fractured and the
Thunder joined the departing teams in the newly formed Western
Washington Football Association. After a forfeit by the Tacoma
Warriors who folded up after 3 forfeits due to reportedly not having
uniforms, Snohomish went on a rare two-game winning streak sandwiched
between shut out losses to the Colts and Ravens. The season ended
with 6-straight losses including a dismantling by the Stallions 72-8.
