Unfortunately, despite hosting American Bowl II against the Northern Conference champion Canton Legends, they couldn't hold them down as they fell shy of their very first league title 61-40. After the 2006 season, their owner, Harry Pierce, announced he was forming the World Indoor Football League, with the Renegades, the Augusta Spartans, the Daytona Beach Thunder, and the Raleigh Rebels- a team also owned by Pierce as charter members.
