The beginnings of the Cavaliers is at times a difficult one to nail down, but officially the team was born in 1998 when Bill Booth started the team in Kelso, Washington.  Booth was also co-operating the Vancouver Posse at the same time.  By 1999 the Posse was reformed into the Vancouver Cougars, however the NWFL would only recognize the Cavaliers name which bred the term "Cougaliers".  In essence the 1999 "Cavaliers" was in fact the Vancouver Posse, sold to become the Columbia Cougars.  It would be the only winning season in Cavalier history.  In 2000 the Cougaliers became the Columbia Cougars, and the Cavaliers would begin to migrate operations towards the Olympia area.
