(S10) - PT 1 - New Faces

[mabb]

After the most storybook rookie season in the DSFL, I have to say that it was bittersweet to be drafted and called up by the San Jose Sabercats. I got really attached to Tijuana, being in a warmer, sunnier climate, having such adoring fans, and being able to hit the beach after our especially greuling practices. It was such a rush to be able to win an Ultimini on the first season, and it seems like the team really have some momentum under their current GM’s, Icy Douglas and Epictitus Milburn, along with all the superstars who have been able to stay down in the development league and help build the team as vets. I’m excited to stay in touch with them all, as an alumnus while I move up to San Jose, and luckily we won’t be that far apart. But more seriously, I’m a little intimidated to be starting in the NSFL so soon, after only one season. I’ve always strived to rise to the occasion and will focus extra on my training and trying to integrate with the team. I am looking forward to seeing what the big leagues are like and hear I’ll be chasing a lot of folks down the field, ha. But that’s alright with me, I do love distance, but I also love a good sprint, too.
