Newton Nite Hawks

The Newton Nite Hawks were a semi-pro American football team that played in Newton, Iowa from 1974-1978. They were members of the Chicagoland Football League (CFL) and Northern States Football League (NSFL). They were the first professional or semi-professional team to play American football on the European continent.
==History==

Founded by local businessmen Jim Foster and Jim Williams in 1974, the Newton Nite Hawks were coached by Tom Ross during their first season. The team earned their first ever franchise victory by defeating the Brighton Park Bengals 48-0. After a slow start, the Nite Hawks went on to win 4 of their last 5 games and earned a spot in the CFL playoffs. They were the first team in CFL history to make the playoffs in their first year of operation. The Nite Hawks finished their inaugural season 5-5-1.

The 1975 season was a breakout year for the Nite Hawks. Jim Williams took over the head coaching duties as the team finished 10-2, won the American Division Title and captured the CFL championship with a 17-7 win over the Niles Saints. Statistically, the Nite Hawks led the league many categories, including total offense and total defense.
In their third year of existence, the 1976 Nite Hawks made the league playoffs for the third consecutive year under new coach Dick Altemeier. The team finished the season 6-5 after a loss to the Delavan (Wisconsin) Red Devils in the first round of the CFL playoffs.
The Newton Nite Hawks made football history in 1977. Through the entrepreneurial efforts of Jim Foster, the Newton Nite Hawks were chosen to play a 5-game football tour in Europe (see below) with the Chicago Lions in early June. After winning all 5 games in Europe, the Nite Hawks posted a 7-3 record in the 1977 NSFL regular season. Additionally, the Nite Hawks became a member of the Northern States Football League and played all home games at H. A. Lynn Field after three previous seasons at Holland Patterson Field. In their final year in Newton, the Nite Hawks finished 5-5 in 1978 under coach Herb Taylor.
