The Quad Cities Riverhawks are a team of the Premier Basketball League scheduled to play in the PBL's inaugural season.

[edit] 2006-07 season

The team began play as a member of the American Basketball Association in 2006. The team played at the Activities Center at Marycrest College in Davenport, Iowa.

Finishing second place in the White Central division with a 24-9 record, the 'Hawks earned the #9 seed in the ABA Playoffs, defeating their brother franchise, the Sauk Valley Rollers in the first round by a score of 100-86, and then scoring a forfeit win over Central division champion Minnesota Ripknees (who had decided not to play in the playoffs due to a monetary dispute). The 'Hawks would lose to eventual ABA runner-up Texas Tycoons in the quarterfinals by a score of 125-123.

[edit] 2008 season

The Riverhawks have announced they are changing venues to the Wharton Field House in Moline, Illinois (former home to the NBA's Tri-Cities Blackhawks and later the CBA's Quad City Thunder), as well as changing their affiliation to the Premier Basketball League along with their brother franchise, the Rock River Fury.
