Honors

 

All-League


All-America

 

The "All-American Bowl" was organized by Randy Jacoway and Tom Kelly, who took 29 players made up of WarHawks and other recruits from the Seattle area to face the San Jose Bandits in Hong Kong.  $118,000 had been raised by sponsors to send both teams for a week.

 

The Seattle Times called the team the "Warriors" in a number of articles during the 1988 season.  After the Aug 27 game against the Express, Eastside management announced due to issues during the game and game officials complaints, the Oct 1st game would not be played.  The league awarded the Warhawks a forfeit.

 

After the 1989 season Elton O'Bryant and Assistant Coach Dick Giesle joined the Oregon Thunderbolts
