New Talent
I've gotta toot my own horn here for a minute, biggest new addition to the Pythons may be me. In 11 tracked games I managed to lead, via tie, the DSFL in receiving touchdowns. I may have not been the largest contributor to overall yards or even efficiency metrics, but touchdowns are how you win games and I was a huge contributor to that.
I know that sounds big-headed, but I'm moreso proud of myself as a smaller receiver coming in fresh later in the year. I can't imagine what I'll do next year.
But, I don't throw it to myself, my boy Cole McCoy was hitting his stride later in the year as he took over sole QB from Christ. He really stepped up as a leader on this team and will light it up in the NSFL when he decides to finally step up.
We've both decided we'd like to stay in the DSFL for one more year though, we want to win back to back championships. We know we can do it. I foresee me and McCoy, along with the rest of our team, hoisting up the trophy at the end of the year and sending our GM pdxballer to the NSFL with a smile on his face.

That Magic Moment
Even though the Portland Pythons lost in the first round of the DSFL, despite being number one seed, there was something magical about the game. We ran away with home-field advantage, but nothing is guaranteed in football. The Coyotes are the team I strongly felt was the top contender if we were out of the playoffs and they were also the team I wanted us to face the least and yet as fate has it they were the team that we had to play.
They're one of the most complete teams in the DSFL, and their stud receiver Miller has been unstoppable all year. He proved to be a force of nature putting up 114 yards and a touchdown. Incredible.
But I'm not here to talk about the outcome of the game or go through it play by play, that may be a story for another day. For me the magic moment was the entire game. I felt like my dream was coming true. It all felt surreal. You ever hear people talking about their body going on auto-pilot? Instinct kicking and feeling like they're not in control of their body? That was this. I felt like I hit a dream state and it felt natural. Did I feel nervous? Nope, not one bit. This is what I'm meant to do and I look forward to coming back next year to win the Championship with my buddy Cole.
