All-America
The Vancouver Posse were formed when Bill Booth
decided to step away from the Cowlitz County Cavaliers. Unable to
fully do so, Larry Jobe and Booth in essence changed the name of the
Cavaliers to the Posse and were able to recruit some Thunderbolt
players, most notably all-leaguers Antonio Sparrow and Nate Griffin.
The Posse appeared to be the team to beat through the regular season
until they were upended in the final two games of '98 by the Bengals and
Thunderbolts in the first round of the playoffs.
Following the '97 season, many of the Posse players
returned to the Thunderbolts, as Booth double dipped running both the
Posse and the Washington Cavaliers who were playing as an independent
team for the '98 season. The Posse lost 3 times to the
Thunderbolts and was smacked by Booth's own Cavaliers 35-0. This
closed out the franchise as Shay Dean and the Vancouver players joined
up with the Cavaliers for one season before forming the Multnomah County
Buccaneers out of Portland.
