(S8) - PT 1 - Draft Party

[JuOSu]

My draft party was not crazy or extravagant. I spent the evening at home with my family, watching the draft on the TV and occasionally texting with different people in the league. One of which was fellow rookie Benson Bayley who I got along with well during that time and had created a bit of a connection with. The thought was that the Sabercats would draft him and maybe they would draft me with the very next pick. How amazing would that be, two friends back to back. But as the night went on, it became clear that was not gonna be the case. I heard different rumors about Sabercats, Outlaws and Otters wanting to draft me. In the end, the Otters drafted me and Molarpistols called me and welcomed me to the Otters and wished me the best. Happiness spread throughout the draft party and my family hugged and cheered. I was a first rounder and would be in the NSFL. My family was very happy though there was also some sadness. I would be moving far away from home, all the way from beautiful Dublin, Ireland all the way to sunny Orange County on the West Coast of the US, with 8 hours of time difference now between us.
