Wausaukee Bowls
For its first six years, the Wausaukee Bowls operated as the Salt Lake City Lushes and was the only DNFL team ever owned by a
woman, Pat Wenzel. In 1982, Salt Lake made its only DNFL Bowl, losing to Parma.
Beginning with the 1985 season, Commissioner
Len Tomaszewski took the team over and moved it to Wausaukee, home of his beloved cabin. Len's Wausaukee team made the playoffs
in 1986, 1988, and 1990, but couldn't get past the first round, and by the end of the 1996 season Len, despite all his hard work
as commissioner for so many years, had never won a DNFL Bowl. Finally, the 1997 and 1998 seasons belonged to Len, as the Bowls
won two DNFL Bowls in a row. The 1998 team finished 10-2-2, a franchise best.
Len's last two seasons, 2001 and 2002, were
consistent at 6-7-1 each, and when Steve Hudomiet took over the team in 2003, it finished 6-7-1 for the third year in a row and
then finished 6-7-1 again in 2005. In 2006, under Steve's leadership the team finished over .500 for the first time since 1998.
Wausaukee is another DNFL team that never has finished as the wildcard.
