At the time of his retirement Brent had the most receiving yards in team history with 2,041 including the most receiving yards in the post season with 319. He finished second in touchdown receptions with 22. In a five year career Brent averaged 16.59 yards per catch. Brent Lewis scored the first touchdown in team history.

While playing special teams he recorded 7 kickoff returns for 124 yards with an average of 17.71 yards per return. In the early years of Adult Amatuer Football in Arizona, Brent was the receiver that all players tried to emulate their game after. Perfect body type at 6'-2" and 208 pounds, and was known for running percision routs and scoring touchdowns. Brent was voted into the leagues All-Star game in just about every season and was All-League 1st team in 2002. Won multiple "Outlaw Player of the Week" awards. Played ball and graduated from Berry Goldwater High School and then moved on to play at Glendale Community College prior to becoming an Outlaw.
#86- SAL ARMENDAREZ: Sal came to the Outlaws in 2000 and retired in 2005. In those five seasons Sal became the most decorated special teams player in team history. Sal totaled 30 tackles including 20 solo and 2 fumble recoverys. At 5'-9" and 180 pounds Salnever worried about his stature because he always played bigger than himself and was respected and loved by all his coaches and teammates. Played part time on offense providing valuable support at the tight end and widereceiver positions. Always one of the teams true warriors. In his five seasons Sal never missed a practice or a game. Made a memorable 21 yard catch between two Phoenix Hurricane defenders in a playoff game. John Polchin Sr. who coached the special teams for the outlaws in each of our first 7 seasons, has stated numerous times that "if I could ever give out a special team award it would automatically go out to Sal Armendarez". So it is more than fitting that our first special teams player being inducted into the Outlaws Hall of Fame is Sal. He spent 9 years in the U.S. Army including being a Desert Storm Vet.

#20 - MICHAEL HENDERSON: Michael played for the Phoenix Outlaws from 1999 to 2004. An original Outlaw who during that time became the most feared runningback in the state. Has a build the coaches dream of... powerful with speed. If you tried to tackle him high, he would run you over, if you tried to tackle him low, he would hurdle you. Unbelievable vision who never looked at the first defender because he never stood a chance. Rarely tackled by one player. Finished his Outlaws career with 480 rushing attempts (1st in team history), 2,590 rushing yards (1st in team history), and scored 26 touchdowns on the ground (1st in team history). Michael also had the soft hands of a receiver out of the backfield and totaled 84 receptions for 639 yards and 7 touchdowns (all 1st in team history for runningbacks). Returned 4 kickoffs for 113 yards, and had 26 tackles on defense including a 3 sack game vs the Bulldogs on 2/13/1999. Class act that was All-League and a All-Star every season he played. Respected and feared by every player and coach in Arizona Amateur football.
#12 - BRIAN FIERROS: Brian was another original Outlaw starting his tenure in 1999 and retired in 2002. Brian was the first quarterback in Outlaws team history and threw the first touchdown pass in team history in week five vs the Lightning. Handled the kicking duties in 1999 as well. Switched to widereceiver half way through the season and a star was born! When an injury to the next quarterback happened Brian was put back in at QB and at the end of the season he threw 4 touchdown passes in the playoffs against the Raiders that is still a team record. Brian's passing stats finished with 43 of 89 for 463 yards and 6 touchdowns. At widereceiver is where Brian excelled and became known as "Mr. Clutch". Made all the big catches in the biggest games. Finished with 58 receptions for 1,047 yards a 18.05avg. and 15 touchdowns. Kicked 5 extra points. True Outlaw who was the life and spirit of the team. Coaches original "utility infielder" because he could and did play every and any position. Class act who is loved by all.

"THE THREE AMIGO'S" On September 10th 2005 the Phoenix Outlaws had their inaugural "Hall Of Fame" ceremony held at the Golden Phoenix Restart. For the first class inductees it was a special night full of great stories, food. laughs, and memories. The three men were rated the number one offensive line in Arizona Amateur Football during that time period. Named the "Three Amigo's" since they all played together at Tempe High School and stayed together with the Outlaws. Collectively they helped the Outlaws into the Championship game in only our second year of existence in 2000. We are honored to recognize the sacrifice made by these outstanding men and their commitment to the Phoenix Outlaws Football Club.
