Seminoles

The Detroit Seminoles are one of the premier elite teams in semi-pro football history. Since their inaugural season in 1994 - as the Highland Park Seminoles (later changed that season to the Detroit Seminoles) - the "Noles Nation" have enjoyed one of the highest winning percentages in all of minor-professional football and are arguably one of the most recognized semi-pro programs in the country. Detroit's commitment to excellence is extensively documented, with the Noles perennially finishing in the top ten in most national polls for a decade. Amongst their trophy case of achievements are: Current Back-To-Back MLFN (Minor League Football News) National Championships in 2002 and 2003 - 1 Runner-up USFA National Championship in 1998 - 6 consecutive league championships, ( 2 Michigan Football League Championships, 3 Mid-States Football League titles, and last seasons coveted 2003 Mid-Continental Football League - one of the top leagues in the country. Perhaps, the Noles greatest accomplishment was a regular 52 game winning season streak, which saw the Noles not losing a single league game (MFL, MSFL, or MCFL) since 1996. That streak came to a stunning end last season, when the Seminoles were defeated by the Indiana Mustangs 17-14 on the road to end one of the most amazing streaks in semi-pro history. The lost served as a wakeup call to the Noles as the "Seminole Juggernaut" refocused and powered to another league championship - defeating the reigning 2002 MCFL Champion, Cleveland Lions in a thrilling 2003 MCFL Championship (21-17). The 11-1 Detroit Seminoles were than invited to defend their 02 MLFN National Championship where they defeated a powerful, 12-1 Minnesota Maulers in Miami, Florida to capture the 03 Championship, and accomplish the rare back-to-back national title feat. This season the Noles will go for the three-peat in National Championships - and it's 7th consecutive league championship.

The Noles roster is a Michigan and Midwest "Who's-Who" of former collegiate football players, ranging in experience from the NFL (Marlion Jackson, Raphael Cooper, Cyril Weems, John Olgesby) - NFL Europe/CFL (Roy Granger, Delius Morris) - to AFL/AFL2/IFL (12 current players play on professional arena football rosters in the off-season). The Seminole's are also special off the field. The non-profit organization is dedicated to the promotion of amateur football, as well as committed in a host of community activities related to charity activity, youth athletics, and sponsorship events.
