→1962
The league is comprised of seven teams: Andalusia, Ozark, Montgomery, Selma, Dothan representing Alabama, with Ft. Walton Beach and Pensacola the lone Florida clubs. The Senators are managed by [[Wikipedia:Wayne Terwilliger|Wayne Terwilliger]] and took first place in the league with a 79-38 record (675.). Pensacola won the league by 22 games ahead of second place Ft. Walton (58-61) and oddly enough, was the only team to post a winning record. The Senators would also lead the league in attendance. In the playoffs, the Senators defeated fourth-seeded Dothan two games to one, and then was shocked by Selma (55-63 regular season record) in the finals three games to one.
The roster was: Frank Cardona, Juan Gomez, Bud Mattingly, Ken Scodeller, Don Loun, Bob Baird, Brennan Asplen, Dalton Renfroe, Carl Middledorf, Lou Abrahams, Fred Waters, Doug Ritter, Joe Klein, Steve Brackin, Frank Gable, Carlos Medrano, Jim Munoz, Barry Moore, Steve Bach, and Bill Timberlake.
The league would fold after the 1962 season for refusing to accept black players.
