Heartland Football Association Welcomes Kansas City Bulldogs


The Heartland Football Association is excited to welcome the Kansas City Bulldogs for the 2023 season. The Bulldogs join the HFA with a rich 15-year history of success on and off the field. In 2022, the Bulldogs were the runner-up in the Northern Elite Football League. They are led by co-owners Ray Williams and Jesse Peoples of Elite Scouting Services LLC. 


The Bulldogs will transition to the HFA with a resume that includes 3 league championships, and a national bowl championship. 


“Adding the Bulldogs gives us exactly the kind of well-run and legitimate organization that we have been looking for.” According to HFA President Andrew Mather. “Ray, Jesse, and his team have the same vision that our other owners have on providing quality football at a high level for the community.  We have been very intentional about quality over quantity, and we couldn’t be more excited with where we have landed.” 


The Bulldogs will be the 5th member of the HFA, which is now comprised of: 


Omaha Stockmen (Omaha, NE) 

Minneapolis Warriors (Minneapolis, MN) 

Newton Nite Hawks (Newton, IA) 

Missouri Swarm (Saint Joseph, MO) 

Kansas City Bulldogs (Kansas City, MO) 


The HFA is open to adding an additional quality team for the 2023 season. If you are interested, please contact Andrew Mather at amather@omahastockmen.com
