The Wildcats were founded in 2007 and kicked off their first season June of 2008. The team was started by a coach and some players that had all the love for the game and just needed a way to express it. The season started out with a good strong team but would some dwindle down due to injuries. The players that remained healthy would have to play both sides of the ball for all the games. There were times when it seemed impossible but those 15 players battled all season to the final whistle even with the odds in the other teams favor. After traveling to Medford Oregon to take on the number 2 ranked Renegades with 11 players it seemed like it was all but finished. With nothing but hope and a prayer the Wildcats entered the last game of the season with those same fifteen players and won the game with the Saints inside the wildcats red zone with 1 minute left and getting ready to score the tired Wildcats defense made one last stand and on third down forced a fumble which the Wildcats recovered for the win.
After the season the Wildcats wasted no time in getting ready for 2009. Still suffering from injuries and lack of players they continued to practice knowing they would not repeat history. With 2 months til the season started the owner had to make a choice he was moving to a diffrent state and either had to drop the team or give it away. The team ended up in the hands of a player who was with the Wildcats from the start . The day the team was told he broke his leg at practice and things started to look dim again. With 2 months to get going players and coaches started recruiting and by the time kick off came the Wildcats had 35 players. The Wildcats didn't have to wait all season for that first win this year. The season was once again plagued by injury but the Wildcats ended the season with a full squad and the talent to make a run for the 2010 championship.
