The 1997 season was the inagural season for the Rocky Mountain Football League. the Rocky Mountain Bulls (Pocatello) rode a dominating defense to the RMFL title winning the title game against the Idaho Falls Mustangs 16 - 0. The Bulls, Mustangs and Dragons played some highly competitive and close matches through a brief 6-game regular season, while the Kangaroos struggled with personnel in going winless. That first year goal was met, however... to just play football.... Even today, many RMFL old-timers will say that 1997 was the league's greatest season... because that is the year it all began.
