----------------------------- We do our annual roll call after the playoffs, but if you already know you will not return next season, I'd appreciate you informing me now.
With that we will have some changes next season.... First, Salt City will be relocating to Baltimore and become the Baltimore Fire. And we know New York will be seeking a new coach. We have one on board thanks to James Riley. James referred Trey Morris to KRFL and Trey will be taking over the New York team unless another team opens up. Trey also lives in Kentucky and will rename his team and become the Appalachian Wookiees. Welcome Trey and Thank You James!
Long time KRFL member Cliff Dolgins announced he is stepping away from the New York Hitmen at the end of this season. Cliff has been a member of KRFL since the 2004 season and has found remarkable success in the league. - The only FIVE time league champion - 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013 - Most regular season wins of any coach in the league - 247. - Highest regular season winning percentage of all coaches with more than 100 games - 247-75 for a 76.7% win percentage. - Tied with Jim Rice for most playoff games wins - 22 wins and 13 losses
Cliff was a member of the Hall of Fame Committee and a member of the Trade Committee (so I will need a new trade committee member. If you are interested let me know.)
I want to thank Cliff for his contributions to KRFL over the many years, and especially his wisdom as part of the league's trade committee. I wish Cliff nothing but the best and he will always be welcome to rejoin the league in the future.
Although we do our annual Roll Call in February, if you already know you will not be returning for the 2024 KRFL season, I would appreciate it if you would tell me now.
