In their inaugural season in the American Basketball Association, the team finished with an 8–4 record and defeated the West Virginia Blazers in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Chicago Steam. The next year, 2011, they moved to the Premier Basketball League (PBL) and played their next two seasons in Columbus, Indiana. In their last season playing in Columbus, the team reached the PBL semi-finals. The next season, after moving to Manual High School, the team reached the PBL Finals; however, they lost to the Rochester Razorsharks.[2] The team joined the North American Basketball League in 2017,[citation needed] but apparently disbanded after 2018.
