Our 2008 season schedule against tough NAFL teams includes a home game in mid-July, a bowl game called the Kent Cornucopia Bowl. This Bowl game is during Kent's Cornucopia Days (Seafair) weekend celebration, the oldest and largest festival in the South King County area where up to 300,000 visit each year. Last season was our first involvement with the KCD. In 2007 the Jaguars had a booth, participated in the Kent Cornucopia Days Parade where there were some 60,000 cheering people witnessing the Jaguars parade by. The parade and the Jaguars appeared on the local Kent Public Access TV. At the game the Cornucopia Queen and her court came to make an appearance. We anticipate even larger crowds in 2008 coming to this game. www.kcdays.com/jaguar_football.htm

Jaguars Soak the Cavaliers

Saturday, July 21, 2007

Auburn Memorial Stadium

The July rains came down nearly all game long making the turf and the football extremely slippery. The Jaguars championship defense held the Cavaliers to just 19 total yards in a 37-7 victory.

The Cavaliers first took the lead for nearly all the first half when Cavalier defensive back Daniel Brown picked off a Leo Dickerson pass and rambled 35 yards for the touchdown. The Jags went to the ground game and answered back with a touchdown by RB Dwayne Buckley in the first quarter. In the second quarter Jaguars QB Dickerson hit WR Mike Bush for a touchdown followed by a 2 point conversion catch by WR Anthony Montgomery giving the Jaguars the lead with under a minute left in the half. The Cavaliers never saw the end zone again.

On defense the Jaguars DL Shawn Lovelace lead the Jags with 6 tackles including a QB sack for a safety. Jaguar LB Dion Alexander followed him closely with 6 tackles.

The King County Jaguars next game is Saturday July 28th on the road in Silverdale, WA to take on the West Sound Saints. Kickoff is at 6:30 pm.

KING COUNTY JAGUARS PLUNDER WILLAMETTE VALLEY RAIDERS
NAFL PLAYOFFS (Round 1)
NWFL SEMI-FINALS
September 8, 2007
Tukwila, Washington
After a last minute 6-3 victory by the Jaguars over the Willamette Valley Raiders during the regular season, the Raiders made the trip to Death Valley feeling extremely confident in their ability to dethrone the defending two time NWFL Champion, King County Jaguars.

This was the first time these two teams have met in a playoff situation. The weather conditions were perfect and the scene was set for another unforgettable Jaguar vs. Raider battle. The Raiders won the coin toss but their hopes slowly faded as the Jaguars schooled them what a true championship team can do.

The first quarter was a tight defensive battle with Jaguar Kicker Mike Astley drawing first blood with 34-yard field goal taking the lead 3-0.

In the second quarter the Jaguars strike again when QB James Phillips finds WR Anthony Montgomery for 24-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone and the Jaguars jump to a 10-0 lead. Later in the second quarter Kicker Mike Astley boots a 41 yard field goal and the Jaguars go in at the half leading 16-0.

Early in the third quarter, Astley cranks out a 45-yard field goal and the Jaguars begin to pull away; leaving the Raiders to doubt that an upset over the Jaguars would be possible. It was in the third quarter that the Jaguars drove home the death blow when RB Nathan (Tank) Proctor ran through a tremendous hole created by the Jaguars offensive line. Proctor rambled down field shedding tackles, knocking down Raiders, (even carrying some Raiders), at one point going “Hover Tank” as he leapt over a Raider defender; finally getting knocked out of bounds at the Raiders 4 yard line for a 56 yard run. Tank then took the hand off and scored on the next possession giving the Jaguars a 23-0 lead.

Desperate to get on the score board the Raiders moved into shotgun formation. The Raiders elusive QB, David Littleton, who had been on the run all evening from a strong Jaguars pass rush, threw the ball into the hands of Jaguar DB Jeremiah (Cap) Captain who raced strait down the right side for a 52 yard interception return and a touchdown. The Jaguars lead 30-0 at the end of the third quarter.

The Raiders one and only score of the night was in the fourth quarter on a 35 yard TD to #3 from #0.

On defense, the Jaguars were lead by Defensive Lineman Terrance Stitt with 5 tackles, 2 sacks and an interception. Jaguars Linebackers Robert Brown and Dion Alexander each had 4 tackles a piece. Brown also had a interception.

NWFL CHAMPIONSHIP
NAFL PLAYOFFS (Round 2)

King County Jaguars (12-0)
Vs.
Oregon Thunderbolts (11-3)

Saturday, September 15, 2007
Auburn Memorial Stadium,
Auburn Washington
Kickoff, 6:00 pm


The 33rd Northwest Football League (NWFL) Championship game and the second round of North American Football League (NAFL) playoffs will feature two outstanding NWFL/NAFL teams with rich playoff and league championship histories. This will be the 3rd post season meeting in a row between the Jaguars and Thunderbolts and their first ever NWFL Championship meeting.

The two time defending NWFL Champion, King County Jaguars, have returned to this title match by defeating the Willamette Valley Raiders 30-6 in the NWFL Semi-finals just one week ago. Over the last 3 seasons the Jaguars have maintained a 38 game regular season winning streak and are on a quest to three-peat as NW Champions. If the Jaguars are victorious they will accomplish a feat that has not been repeated in the Northwest since the Federal Way/Puget Sound Jets won 4 titles in a row from 1993-96. This season the Jaguars have averaged 38 points per game while allowing only an average of 5 points per game. The Jaguars also hold the title of 2007 NAFL Pacific Coast Division Champions and are Champions of the 2007 Kent Cornucopia Day’s Bowl and the 2007 Centre Pointe Consultants/MLFA West Bowl. Currently the King County Jaguars are ranked #1 in the NAFL power rankings and #2 in the nation by the Minor League Football News and the National Football Events Coaches Polls.

The Oregon Thunderbolts have a rich winning tradition having won back to back NWFL titles in 1997-98. This will be the Thunderbolts first championship appearance since 1998. The Thunderbolts ended their 2007 NWFL regular season with a third place finish having been defeated by the Jaguars. This season the Thunderbolts have averaged 23 points per game while allowing only an average of 12 points. Their only losses this season came from NWFL playoff teams (Willamette Valley Raiders, Pierce County Bengals and the King County Jaguars). The T-Bolts reached the NWFL Championship game by defeating the Snohomish County Vikings 51-6 and the #2 seeded Seattle Stallions 23-22. Entering this championship game, the Oregon Thunderbolts are riding high on a 4 game winning streak and are ranked 6th in the National Football Events Coaches Poll (Western Region).

This game will be ‘smash-mouth’ football at its finest!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??!!

King County Jaguars Strike Oregon Thunderbolts
2007 NWFL Championship
2007 NAFL Playoffs (round 2)
Auburn Memorial Stadium
September 15, 2007
Auburn WA-

It was a confident Oregon Thunderbolts team that arrived in ‘Death Valley’ to play the King County Jaguars for the 2007 Northwest Football League (NWFL) Championship Title. It was a very different team that left ‘Death Valley’ later that night.

The Thunderbolts had high hopes that this meeting was going to be very different then their last regular season meeting with the Jaguars, when the Jaguars won 28-7. The Thunderbolts came into this game riding high on a four game winning streak, with two of those four wins coming from victories over the NWFL #2 seeded Seattle Stallions. Unfortunately for the Thunderbolts the two time defending NWFL Champion King County Jaguars had other plans. The Jaguars unleashed their extraordinary defense and executed solid special teams play, www.kcjags.com/photos/09-15-07/s_585.jpg [/img] shocking the Oregon Thunderbolts with a 34-0 championship shutout.

The game started off as a defensive struggle, until late in the first quarter when the Thunderbolts were forced to punt from their own 19 yard line. That was when Jaguar DE Shawn Corbett raced in and blocked the Thunderbolt punt causing the ball to bounce up and into Jaguar LB Willie ‘the hitstick’ Stewart’s hands who then ran it down to the T-Bolt’s 7 yard line. The Jaguars first score came when QB James Phillips connected with WR Carlos Clark down the middle in the back of the end zone and the Jaguars took a 7-0 lead.

In the 2nd Quarter, Thunderbolt QB Matt Davidow muffed a handoff to his running back which left the football lying on the turf. Jaguar DE Terrance Stitt scooped up the ball and raced down field for a 26 yard touchdown and Jaguars went up 14-0. Davidow, who attempted to make the tackle on Stitt, was injured and did not return to the field for the rest of the game.www.kcjags.com/photos/09-15-07/697.jpg [/img] The Jaguars struck again late in the 2nd quarter when QB Phillips hit WR Anthony Montgomery for a 33 yard touchdown. The Jaguars lead big at the half, 21-0.

The Jaguars defense held tough in the 3rd quarter www.kcjags.com/photos/09-15-07/533.jpg [/img]and the Thunderbolts were forced to punt from their own 34 yard line. The punt snap sailed right over the punters head and into the end zone. The T-Bolts punter tried to kick the ball out of the end zone but missed, and Jaguar DB Deno Williams pounced on the ball for another Jaguar touchdown. Jaguars lead grows to 28-0.

Jaguar special teams took advantage one more time in the 4th quarter when PR Milton Myers caught the punt and darted down field, shaking T-Bolt defenders as he went, for a 48 yard Jaguar touchdown.

NWFL Commissioner Ron Baines was on hand to present the 2007 NWFL trophy to Head Coach Jeff Scott and the King County Jaguars.

Other game awards: The 2007 NWFL Championship game MVP trophy was presented to: Jaguar LB Dion Alexander, Offensive game MVP went to Jaguar WR Carlos Clark, Defensive game MVP went to DE Terrance Stitt and Special teams’ game MVP went to Jaguar Kicker Mike Astley. T-Bolts player of the game trophy went to: MLB Keti Taufoou

The King County Jaguars have won the NWFL title for the 3rd straight year. This Jaguar victory also counted as a North American Football League (NAFL) national playoff victory and the Jaguars move on to round 3 of the NAFL playoffs and set their sights on the NAFL National Championship.

The King County Jaguars next big game is Saturday September 29th at Auburn Memorial Stadium against the undefeated Blue Mountain Stars (12-0) of Tri-Cities WA for the Minor League Football Association (MLFA) West National Championship and for bragging rights as the best football team in the entire Northwest.

Your King County Jaguars are currently ranked #1 in the NAFL National Power Rankings.

King County Jaguars
2007 MLFA West National Champions

The 2007 MLFA West National Championship game was first time these two undefeated and nationally ranked teams met on the gridiron. The Blue Mountain Stars and the King County Jaguars battled for the Minor League Football Association West National Championship and for bragging rights as the best minor-league football team in the Pacific Northwest. This game turned out to be the dogfight that the hype leading up to the game said it would be. However, in the end, it was the King County Jaguar defense that once again dominated on the field, shutting out the Blue Mountain Stars 29-0.

The first series by both teams was a defensive battle with both teams stopping each others offense, but then the Jaguar defense kicked in as they gang tackled the Stars leading rusher Brandon Tate causing Tate to leave the remainder of the game with an ankle injury and thus forced the Stars to punt. With just under four minutes remaining in the first quarter Stars, Jesus Solis, punted a beautiful 40 yard kick. Unfortunately for the Stars, the ball landed directly in the awaiting arms of Jaguar punt returner, Carlos Clark, who caught the punt on the fly and began running down the right sideline. Clark reversed direction at mid field and returned the ball 55 yards down the left sideline for the Jaguars first touchdown. Jaguars 6 Stars 0.

In the second quarter the Jaguars offense turned up the heat by going to the air. Jaguar QB James Phillips on a 3rd and 8 completed a pass down the middle hitting Jaguar WR Michael Bush in stride for a 60 yard touchdown. On the next Jaguar possession Phillips does it again, this time airing it out to Jaguar WR Carlos Clark for a 68 yard touchdown catch. The Jaguars go for two and RB Andre Edwards darts in bringing the Jaguars to a commanding lead of 20-0.

On the ensuing Jaguar kickoff the football bounced off of a Stars kick returner and bounced out of bounds at the Stars 15 yard line. The following play saw Jaguar LB Willie ‘The Hitstick’ Stewart sack Stars QB Demmarcus for what looked like a safety but the Stars QB was ruled down at the one yard line. That didn’t save the Stars because on the very next play Jaguar DE Shawn Corbett, running with a full head of steam, raced around the Stars offensive line and blind sided QB Demmarcus for the sack and the two point safety. Jaguars go up 22-0 before the half.

In the second half the Stars made scoring attempts on several drives, but the Jaguars stiffened their defense and held the Stars offense to zero.

The Jaguars offense scored one last time in the 4th quarter on a three yard run by RB Vernon ‘VW’ Word to make the final score 29-0.

The King County Jaguars overall 2007 record grows to 14-0 tying the Jaguars own best for the most wins in a season. The Jaguars last 14 win season was in 2005 when the Jaguars finished 14-1 and were voted the number one team in the West.

The Champion King County Jaguars move on to round 3 of the North American Football League (NAFL) national championship tournament. The Jaguars will next host an at large regional champion from either California or Texas on Saturday October 20th at Auburn High School in Auburn WA.

The 2007 North American Football League (NAFL) Pacific Coast Division Champion and 2007 Northwest Football League (NWFL) Champion, King County Jaguars are ranked #1 and #2 in the nation by Minor League Football News and the National Football Events Coaches poll respectively. The Jaguars will host the defending 2006 NAFL Champion and 2007 NAFL Longhorn Division Champion, Dallas Diesel currently ranked #5 and #6 in the nation by those same polls.

The Jaguars and the Diesel will meet for the 2007 NAFL Western Conference Championship and the winner will advance to the NAFL ‘final four’. The winner of the ‘final four’ will advance to the NAFL Championship game (the Super Bowl of Minor-League Football), which will be played in Las Vegas Nevada on November 10, 2007.

The NAFL playoffs are a national 64 team tournament, and the Jaguars have advanced to round 4 by defeating the Willamette Valley (WA) Raiders 30-6 (round 1), the Oregon Thunderbolts 34-0 (round 2) and last weekend received a forfeit victory over the Southern California Steelers (round 3).

After a first round bye, the Dallas Diesel advanced to the Western Conference Championship with victories over the Sharks (Sugarland, TX) 49-0 and the Bay Area Gamblers (Pearland, TX) 24-20.

The 2007 Dallas Diesel team has averaged just over 32 points per game while giving up only 8.5. The Diesel are lead by QB’s Tim Smith and Arthur Robinson, RB’s Canoya Jefferson, Ricky Madison and Quantae Gregg, WR’s Rich Morris and Clayton Brookins and the 2006 Diesel leading scorer, Kicker Sean Riley. Defenders Chris Glenn and Mike Larry lead the Dallas defense. The Diesel’s large offensive line averages 345lbs which favors both the Diesel’s running and passing game. The Diesel’s only blemish this season was a close 10-9 loss to the Bay Area Gamblers. The Diesel sports an impressive 12-1 record coming into this weekend’s game.

The undefeated King County Jaguars have averaged just over 37 points per game while giving up a very stingy 4.3 points per game. The Jaguars are lead by QB James Phillips, RB’s Nathan ‘Tank’ Proctor and Malachi Dewalt, and WR’s Michael Bush, Carlos Clark and Anthony Montgomery. On defense the Jaguars are lead by leading tacklers Dion Alexander, Robert Brown and Fred Hardwell. Sack leaders Terrance Stitt, Shawn Lovelace and Willie Stewart play a big roll and interception leaders Milton Meyers and Duane Bowen receive respect from opposing offensives. The Jaguars record is 14-0 for the 2007 season, and boast a 38 game regular season winning streak.

This will be the second time the Diesel team has had to meet the Jaguars in ‘Death Valley’, which is the name given to the Jaguars home field. In the 2005 NAFL Western Conference Championship the Jaguars defeated the Diesel in a thrilling 27-24 victory.

This clash of the titans promises to be another exciting NAFL playoff game and a game you won’t want to miss.
