# Houston Energy

The Houston Energy is a football team in the Women's Football Alliance. They play at Wolverine Stadium, the football stadium on the campus of Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, Texas, just south of Houston. The team was founded in 2000. The current owner is Brian Wiggins.

## History

The Houston Energy is the longest-running active women’s gridiron franchise in the state of Texas, alongside the Austin Outlaws, also founded in 2000. The team was founded by Robin Howington, a local businesswoman and defensive player. In its inaugural year, over 400 players tried out for the team. Howington led the team to three back-to-back national championships between its inaugural year and 2003 in the WPFL. In 2004, Howington sold the team to fellow players Karen Mones and Stacy Agee. Howington remained as the team’s General Manager to assist in the transition. The same year, the new owners brought on former NFL player Brian Wiggins as the wide receivers coach. In 2006, Wiggins purchased the team and began his tenure as head coach. In the first two years under Wiggins, the team made back-to-back appearances in the WPFL championship, falling to the Dallas Diamonds and So Cal Scorpions respectively. In 2009, the team affiliated with the IWFL upon the WPFL’s dissolution. The Energy won its fourth national title in 2018, the final season of the IWFL.
The team affiliated with the WFA in the 2019 season, beginning as a Division II team. The WFA cancelled the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following years, the Houston Energy rattled off two runner-up national champion seasons and ascended to the WFA PRO division in 2023 alongside Division II champion Mile High Blaze.
