Press Release
Valley Mustangs and Tacoma Predators Merge to make room for the Clark County Yellow Jackets in the NAFL Cascade Division for the 2008 season.
Brandon Powell, owner of the Valley Mustangs, Tacoma Predators and Clark County Yellow Jackets, together with his management and coaching staff agreed to merge the Mustang and Predator teams for the 2008 season to make room in the Cascade Division for the Clark County Yellow Jackets of Vancouver, WA.
The merged team will retain the Valley Mustangs name and identity as the Mustangs are a third year team and the Predators were a 2008 start up team. The Mustangs will remain in the Olympic Division and the Yellow Jackets will take the place of the Predators on the Cascade Division Schedule. The Mustangs play in the Auburn, WA area and the Predators were to play in the Tacoma, WA area. The merged team will play at the Mustangs home field in Auburn.
“This is a great move for the NAFL NW Divisions as the ultimate goal of the NAFL is to have one Oregon and one Washington division of six teams each. With Clark County being almost on the Oregon boarder, it really adds to the Oregon (Cascade Division). We believe this is a strong business move for the teams and for the future of the NAFL in the NW area,” said Lorrie Jean Rarey, NAFL Pacific Region Director and Western Conference Assistant Commissioner.
Todd Allen, the NAFL commissioner approved the merger and the Yellow Jackets were voted in unanimously by the owners of the two NW area division teams.
The NAFL welcomes the Clark County Yellow Jackets into the league.
