As a group they represent one of the stronger memberships of any active minor league organization. Located just outside of Baltimore, the Arbutus "Big Red" have played since 1943, making them one of the oldest teams in the country. In 1996, one of our former teams was declared the AFA National Champion and in 1997 the Richmond Ravens played the Marlboro, Mass. Shamrocks in the AFA's National Championship game.

Our players have received national recognition such as being selected All-American by the American Football Association (AFA). Ron Meehan, former quarterback of the Big Red, was selected the AFA Player of the Year in 1991. In 1994, Darryl Dugger, center for the Virginia Ravens, was selected AFA Offensive Lineman of the Year. Rodney Baylor, Hampton Roads Sharks, was named the 1995 AFA Defensive Lineman of the Year. In 1997, Charles Allen, Offensive Guard for the Virginia Ravens was named Offensive Lineman of the Year. Eleven MDFL players were named 1997 1st or 2nd Team AFA All-Americans. Eight MDFL players made the 1998 1st, 2nd,and 3rd team All-American list. For 2002, the League has registered all of our teams with the AFA and look forward to their continued "national" success.
