One of the highly decorated 9-man teams that made the switch to 11-man
PNFL ball in 2019, The Skallywags were NNFL Champions in 2016.
The Skallywags were expected to be one of the top contenders in 2019 for
the PNFL crown and looked it right out of the gate with a 61-0 smashing
of the Crook County Mountain Men and then a tight loss to perennial
contender Washington Sentinels. After a win over the Outlaws, the
oars missed the water, and Salem lost four straight games getting
knocked out of playoff contention.
The 2020 season opened with the Tri City Rage (Kennewick, WA) coming to
town and stopping Salem 35-13 in non-league action. The next week,
Covid 19 scares crossed the country and Oregon shut down all sporting
events ending the PNFL season before it could get going.
This proved to be the nail in the Skallywags coffin as a franchise.
A group of former Skallywags along with other players from around the
Salem area banded together during the 2021 lock downs to play the
Emerald City Bills.
