The Orcas kicked off an independent schedule in
2000 and hosted all seven games going 4-3 against the NWFL competition
with the three losses coming by a total of 12 points.
High hopes abounded for 2001 but King County had
other plans which involved not being caught by surprise this year as
they had been in a 24-18 loss in the Orcas first-ever game. Five
straight losses to open the season had the team reeling but they
gathered themselves to go 4-4 the rest of the way.
In 2002, Steve McDaniels was named new head coach
and led the team to a .500 season. Kevin Shearer booted a 47-yd FG
to lift the Orcas over the Panthers.
2003 was another stumble out of the gate before the
Orcas went on a five game winning streak, losing the finale to the Bucs.
In 2004 a new ownership group came in and renamed
the team the "Saints". Longtime Puget Sound Jet brass Ken Austin
and Randy Dreessen joined the staff and used their experience to turn
the team around bringing with them a large number of Eastside Hawks
players Austin had coached the prior season, but also according to
McDaniel, they brought "turmoil" to the team. The results on the
field were undeniable as the Saints reached the playoffs and NWFL
Championship game for the first time in team history losing to the Hawks
24-7. The NAFL would invite the Saints to their "consolation"
playoffs known as NAFL2. The visiting Houston Sharks were beaten
in Bremerton and later in November, the Saints defeated the Maryland
Marauders for the NAFL2 Championship.
Austin departed prior to the 2005 season, but the
Saints continued their winning ways with the Eastside Hawks also leaving
the NWFL, one of their biggest nemesis'. But, the Hawks were
replaced with the King County Jaguars and West Sound lost to them twice
including the NWFL Championship.
A 6-3 Saints team would again fall short in a
third-straight NWFL Championship game in 2006. A number of players
who made the team a contender in '04 and '05 departed for other teams.
A highly touted Saints group looked to finally get
over the hump and win that elusive NWFL Championship and West Sound got
an early start scheduling 2 non-league games early on to get their 70+
man roster more experience. A convincing win over the Skagit
Valley Lightning showed that Saints had the train rolling again, but
that was quickly derailed by the South Sound Shockers who rolled into
Bremerton and stifled the Saints offense. The following week,
reports of team implosion leaked out and the Cavaliers finally got their
first win over West Sound in a lack luster 3-0 victory. The season
went downhill from there as defections plagued the team and they
reverted back to a mid-level NWFL team finishing 4-8.
The Saints would leave the NWFL for the NAFL
Northwest division in 2008. The move was disastrous for the
franchise as it suffered through it's worst season ever finishing 2-8
under John Corey.
Eddie Llamas, former player was announced as the
2009 head coach. The downfall continued as the Saints could only
muster a 1-5-1 record defeating the Jags in the opener and forcing a tie
with the Mavericks when the overtime period was foregone due to hot
tempers. The Saints did not play a replacement game scheduled with
the Renton Ravens instead packing up the season and eventually the
franchise.
