Parma Press
This team was originally the Seattle Sabres owned by Jim "Double J" Johnston. Mark Valentino was the team's general manager and one-quarter owner. He purchased that one-quarter ownership by paying Double J: a quarter. Mark took over the team in its second year and moved it to Parma, Ohio, and renamed it the Press. Mark's team won DNFL Bowl IV over Salt Lake in 1982 for its only championship to date. The 1985 Parma team had one of the strangest seasons in DNFL history. With 547 points, Parma not only was the highest scoring team in the league, but it outscored the #2 highest scoring team by more than 100 points. Parma had a points for/points against differential of +104, by far the best in the league. Yet, Parma finished 1/2 game out of first and failed to even make the playoffs. Parma had a great run in 1997-99, making the playoffs three consecutive years and the DNFL Bowl twice, but couldn't quite eke out one more DNFL Bowl win. 2007 looked like it would be Parma's year, as the team scored 669 points and made the playoffs, but then was eliminated when its offense shut down in the first round and lost 15-13 to Decatur.
