Kansas Koyotes

Kansas Koyotes

The Kansas Koyotes are a professional indoor football team based out of Topeka, Kansas. The Koyotes compete in the American Professional Football League (APFL). They began play in 2003.

In their first four years of existence, the Koyotes have dominated the APFL. They went undefeated in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, beating the Missouri Minutemen in the championship game both times. [http://calbears.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20030712/ai_n11802122] [http://cjonline.com/stories/071104/koy_champs.shtml] In the 2005 season, they went undefeated again, albeit being in many close games, winning their third championship over the Iowa Blackhawks by a field goal kicked as time expired. [http://cjonline.com/stories/071705/koy_apfltitle.shtml] . The winning streak lasted 31 games, including exhibition games and post-season games.

2006 is when the Koyotes finally met their Waterloo in Wichita, losing to the Wichita Aviators in the season opener. [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20060409/ai_n16161474] They would lose to the Aviators again, and finish second in the regular-season standings to the Aves. The two teams were going to play for the APFL Championship at the Wichita Ice Arena, for reasons that may never be clear, the league moved the game to Landon Arena. There was never a true explanation offered for this decision, and the game never took place. [http://www.cjonline.com/stories/080406/koy_champs.shtml]

In 2007, the Koyotes continued their domination by winning all their regular season home games and losing only two road games. They proceeded to win the championship game against Iowa Blackhawks.

Many of the Kansas players played collegiate football for Washburn University.

The Koyotes, as well as the APFL, are owned by Ralph Adams. Their home arena is Landon Arena.
