Mavericks now 4-0!
The Mavericks traveled to Sumner Wa. this past week to take on the South King County Colts, and looked to avenge the loss the Colts handed the Mavs in the 2011 playoffs..and they did. The Colts were by far the toughest opponent the Mavs have played this season, with the game coming down to the final minute. The Mavs defense held their ground late in the game to preserve the slightest of margins 17-16.
The Mavs have another tough test this weekend when they host the Bellingham Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are tied with the Mavericks for the top spot in the PFL North (3-0 League, 3-1 Overall) and each team will be looking to solidify that top ranking.
The game will be played at Marquette Stadium in Yakima and will kickoff at 6pm. It is still just $5 to see game if you are 12 years old or older and free if you are 11 and under.

Mavericks players and Coach receive awards The season did not finish the way we all hoped but the team has been well represented in post season awards. The Mavericks finished their first season in the PFL making the playoffs as the #3 seed in the North with a 7-3 record in the regular season. The season concluded in Sumner with an over time loss to the South King County Colts. All of the men who suited for the Mavericks fought hard every play but as a team we came up short of our goal of winning the inaugural PFL championship. Many of those players who played so hard in 2011 have earned the respect of their peers and were named to the following teams.

2011 Yakima Mavericks Food Drive
Another good time was had by the Mavericks players who were at the 2010 Food Drive for NW Harvest. Players, coaches and staff were out in front of Rosaures from 8am to 5pm all while mother nature dropped 5 inches of snow on the them. But the snow may have helped some because this was the most successful food drive yet for the Mavs. The team raised over $350 and two bins of food for NW Harvest and the local food banks. And the amount of cash is truly amazing since we only raised $86 dollars last year. NW Havest can take that money and turn every dollar into 5lbs of food making that $350 look a whole lot bigger. Thank you to all who donated both food and money to the cause, to Alan Silence of KIMA 29 for coming out and helping get the word out, Dave Thomas at the Yakima Herald for putting us in the paper, and Rosaures for lettign us use their store front. A big thank you to all players and staff who particapated. Coach Don Fortenberry, Players: Jon Coleman, Felipe Gonzalez, Robert Pedroza, Franklin Jackson, John Lobbestael, Kenny Peterson, Serg Torres, OJ Davis, Jon Devolve, Ian Zero, Jeremy Withrow, Jesse Cardenas, Detrick Trimble, Ryan Chambers, Michael Haggerty, and GM Nathan Soptich.
Every can/box/bag of food and dollar went to NW Harvest who helps supply local food banks. If you would like more info on NW Harvest visit their website at www.northwestharvest.org.
