Two years
ago, the
Michigan
Bucks
and
Richmond
Fury
were
welcomed
into the NFA
as expansion
franchises.
And in that
first year,
both teams
made the
2006
postseason,
a feat not
typically
accomplished
by
first-year
franchises.
Even though
the 2007
season was a
downturn for
both teams,
the 2008
season
marked a
milestone
for Michigan
and
Richmond, as
both earned
hard-fought
wins in
their
respective
conference
championship
games.
And NFA Bowl XIII did not disappoint. In the end,
though, the
Richmond
Fury won its
first ever
League
championship,
beating the
Michigan
Bucks,
32-35.
Led by NFA
Bowl XIII's
MVP Jay
Cutler
(pictured
above), the
Fury can now
look forward
to NFA Draft
2009 when
the team
will be
given the
Halas Cup as
the
punctuation
of its
championship
in 2008.
The League Office thanks all of the franchises for
their
participation
in the 2008
season.
Details will
be published
shortly
regarding
the date of
NFA Draft
2009, to be
held in Las
Vegas,
Nevada, some
time in
August 2009.
Have a safe
and
enjoyable
offseason,
if there is
such a thing
anymore...
