History
The Mavericks joined the FCSL in 2008 as an expansion team, one of three franchises joining the league that year. This brought the total number of FCSL franchises to six. In their inaugural season, the Mavericks reached the FCSL championship game at Tropicana Field where they defeated the Belleview Bulldogs 9-1 to win the FCSL championship. Under their second season the Mavericks once again made it to the FCSL Championship Game but lost to the Leesburg Lightning 5-1. In their third season the Clermont Mavericks moved to The First Academy near Downtown Orlando and became the Orlando Mavericks.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
