History
The Privateers were founded in 1939, one of the first teams to be founded in the league. They played in Boston, and were highly popular and nationally recognized, even in the early years of the sport. They could play extremely well too, and won The QRO Champions Cup, in its first year ever being played. However, as they were poised to make another run at the title in 1941, The Great Venturian War broke out, and the Cup was cancelled. Unfortunately for the Privateers, it gave other teams time to catch up, and in 1950 they missed out on the Cup. With a new coach, named Gary Haddaman, they didn't fall behind for long, and in 1952 they won the Cup for a second time, led by all time great Penetraman Ruth Flyere. In 1953, they won once more, with Flyere winning the QRO League MVP for the second year in a row.
Throughout the rest of the 50's, Boston was a big contender, making the Champion's Cup once, but not winning it. In 1961, Flyere retired, and the team fell out of contender position. From there they steadily became worse until in the late '70s they got in The Tournament for a few years, however could never win. Then, in the '80s and '90s, the team became one of the worst in the league, going years without a winning season, and that drought continued on into the early part of the 21st century. In 2016, however, the team drafted Starterman Samantha McQueckle, who, in her first two seasons, completed a large percentage of PK's as well as got the team to the Tournament in 2018.
