The American Professional Football League (APFL) is an indoor football league based in the midwestern United States that began play in 2003. The league's flagship team is the Kansas Koyotes, who have captured the first four league championships and weren't beaten in the league's first three seasons. They were finally beaten by the Wichita Aviators in the 2006 season opener. [1]

[edit] 2007 Season Synopsis

In 2007, the APFL had their most competitive season ever. The addition of the Conroe Storm added another competitive opponent, and their were far more competitive games than previous years. Iowa finally beat Kansas winning 50-32 in Council Bluffs. Conroe won games over both the Iowa and Kansas clubs at their home as well. Even the new Omaha team gave the Koyotes a run for their money losing in the last two minutes of the game 45-33. At seasons end, Iowa, Conroe and Kansas had qualified for the playoffs. Iowa traveled to Conroe for the semifinal round and defeated the Storm in a back and forth contest 32-26. The following week Iowa traveled to Kansas for a spirited Championship game. The halftime score was tight, 20-15. However, the Koyotes pulled away in the second half lead by their staunch defense shutting out the Blackhawks in the second half. The final score was 39-15.


[edit] 2008 Season Preview

With 4 new teams added to the league for 2008, including two more Texas teams (Wichita Falls and Beaumont) and a team in Sarasota, Florida, the APFL continues to move toward improving both on and off the field. Two of the new additions to the league are far from rookies to indoor football coming over from the defunct NIFL.


[edit] Interleague Play

The APFL has been one of few leagues in which it's teams have been actively involved in interleague games and scrimmages. In 2005 and 2006 the Missouri Minutemen played against the River City Rage, then playing in the NIFL, losing both contests. Before the 2006 season, the Iowa Blackhawks played a scrimmage for charity against the Omaha Beef of the UIF. In 2007, the Beaumont Drillers of the NIFL played in several exhibitions with the Conroe Storm after both teams schedules had been affected by teams folding. Some games counted towards the Beaumont Drillers' NIFL record, and other games counted towards the Conroe Storm's APFL (as forfeits, because the other team didn't show up).
