All-America
In 2006 the Riverhawks were formed originally as a
player owned entity, but ended up as a not for profit, through the work
of Justin Whitaker who served as the initial President of the
organization. The team
played some independent games which did not count in Evergreen League
standings. The franchise finally broke through with it's first
victory, a 20-0 win against the Columbia River Coyotes of the Oregon
Football League.
2007 and 2008 were both one-win seasons for the
Riverhawks. A bright point was the efforts of wide receiver
Emerson Furgeuson who set an EFL record for receptions in 2007 and was
selected as a second-team All-GNFA player.
The 2009 Riverhawks were a much improved version of
years past even though the record was still 2-6, the quality of play
brought to the contests was increased.
2010 started with two close losses to Spokane and
Wenatchee before numbers started to become a problem. The
Riverhawks had to forfeit two of their final three games to close out a
winless season.
2011 continued a streak of losses that would stretch through to 2013
before finally winning against the Snohomish County Vikings. This
was the first win in 25 tries as the losing skid hit 24 games prior.
Enjoyment was short lived as the Riverhawks dropped the next two games,
forfeited a return game with the Vikings and canceled the remaining
three games of the schedule.
This ended the Riverhawks chapter in eastern Washington football |
