Changes

For the 2009 season, the '''Power''' moved to the [[Wikipedia:Women's Football Alliance|Women's Football Alliance]] (WFA) and changed their name to the '''Gulf Coast Riptide''' because the previous owner, Roy Jones, Jr. stepped down as owner but retained the naming rights. The regional name "Gulf Coast" reflects numerous players who live in surrounding cities such as Mobile and Panama City. Despite another well-played season and a second straight 6-2-0 record, for the first time in franchise history, the '''Riptide''' missed the playoffs. This is because of the WFA's new playoff system which did not allow for any wildcards from the American Coference and because of the '''Riptide's''' two losses to the [[Wikipedia:Jacksonville Dixie Blues|Jacksonville Dixie Blues]]. The Head Coach is Mike Thomas. Running back [[Lakeisha Johnson]] finished 5th in the league in rushing with 1,023 yards with 13 TDs, 5th in kick-off returns and 1st in two-point conversions. Quarterback [[Ella Williams ]] finished 11th in the league in passing with 516 yards and 14 TDs. Dominique Jones finished 9th in the league in receiving with 247 yards and six TDs. Jamie Freeman finished 5th in the league in interceptions with four. Audrey Kidd finished tied for 9th in the league in sacks. Jodi Wiggins finished in the Top 12 in punt average.
