The San Antonio Hawks franchise was established in the year [[2017]], the [[DSFL]]'s inaugural season, by [[User:kckolbe|kckolbe]], a highly controversial but nonetheless prominent figure in the NSFL. They came out to a hot start in their first ever season as a professional franchise, led by their star rookie [[wp:Quartertback|Quarterback]] [[Jameis Christ]], hard-hitting rookie [[wp:Linebacker|Linebackers]] [[Barrick Acolyte]] and [[Brian Kelly]], and their ball-hawking [[wp:Cornerback|Cornerback]] [[Isaiah Rashad]], the Marshals were able to finish the regular season with 9 wins and 5 losses (5-2 at home) and with a comfortable berth in the playoffs and home-field advantage. In their first matchup of the [[2017 DSFL playoffs]], the Marshals faced the [[Kansas City Coyotes]], a team that had amassed a 7-7 record in the regular season. The Coyotes came out to an early lead in the first quarter, with [[Patrick Greene]] nailing a 43-yard field goal to make the score 0-3, shutting out the Marshals for the rest of the quarter. This would be their best defensive performance of the game. [[Jameis Christ]] came out firing early into the second, throwing a touchdown pass to [[Sean Strong]], with star [[wp:Running back|Running Back]] [[John Goose]] scoring on a touchdown later into the quarter, making the score 14-3 by the end of the second quarter. Going into the second half, the Coyotes knew that they were losing badly, and needed a quick score to narrow the gap. [[Patrick Greene]] nailed another 40+ yard field-goal to shorten the Marshal's lead to one score, which they quickly responded to, with Christ throwing a touchdown pass to [[Joseph Tkachuk]] to extend the lead to two scores once more, at 28-6. The Coyotes quickly retaliated with a field goal, but this was the last time they'd score in this game. The Marshals finished off the Coyotes with another rushing touchdown from Goose, capped off with a pick-6 from Rashad (despite a missed extra-point from [[Jimmy Darkapple]]) and left the stadium with a 41-9 win, and a shot at being the inaugural champions of the DSFL, the first team ever to win the [[Ultimini]].
