The Long Beach Aftershock was a women’s professional football team.
The Aftershock was founded in May 2002, by many players who won the first Women’s World Bowl as part of the California Quake, of the now disbanded Women's American Football League (WAFL).
In their first season, the Aftershock won the only championship of the AFWL in 2002 led by head coach Anthony Bartley beating the San Diego Sunfire by a score of 12-7. Then they joined the Women's Professional Football League (WPFL) in its 5th season. The WPFL was the longest running women’s tackle league in the U.S..
Famous quotes containing the words long and/or beach:
“We die only once, and it’s for such a long time!”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
