 SALEM / OREGON / PORTLAND MONARCHS
(2006 - 2014)

Salem / Portland, Oregon

Thank you to the supporters of this page and the GNFA mission!

Be a Monarchs page Supporter!

The Monarchs started out in 2006 as part of the Oregon Football League where they enjoyed moderate success as they got their footing.  By 2008, player/owner Heath Whartan and Company had built a solid organization that would catch it's stride in April of 2008 after a 2-2 start to the season.  The Monarchs would go 54-4 through the 2012 season winning four GNFA titles.  Quarterback Russell Schneider would rewrite the record books owning every major QB record.
 
Upheaval would rock the organization in 2013 as the Wharton's looked to step away and coaches and players left for a doomed one-year PDFL venture with the Portland Boltz. 
 
The remaining players would battle to a 5-7 record narrowly missing the Pacific Football League Championship losing to the Buzzards 23-19 in the playoffs.  The loss of Russell Schneider and company along with Coach Fentress was too much to overcome.  Those players would end up with the Portland Raiders after the Monarchs ceased operations following the 2014 season and a 41-20 loss to the Raiders in the Pacific League South Division Championship. 
 
The split was deep among Monarch loyalists and the players who followed Coach Fentress to the Raiders.  Those not going to the Raiders formed the backbone of the Portland Pitbulls which began play in 2015.  Those who went to the Raiders resurrected a flailing organization that went 12-1 in 2014 winning the PFL and GNFA Regional Championships and went on to a 76-11 record through the 2024 season winning five league or divisional titles and twice claiming the GNFA Regional Championship (2014 and 2016).  The Pitbulls would struggle early in 2015 and 2016, regaining winning ways in 2017 and 2018, but could never get over the hump and win a playoff game finishing in 2018 with an 18-18 overall record through four seasons post-Monarch play.
