5. Holding a trophy behind the flag of my home country!
7. My first season in the DSFL was a lot of fun fun a lot of heart break in the end. The Tijuana Luchadores started the season with a long streak of 1-1 game series keeping us in the high middle of the pack of our division. Then we had a huge 2-0 series where I got the game winning field goal and I thought it was all up from there! But disaster struck when then right after we went 0-2, which was awful for our lead in our division. I really did not think it could get any worse for out team but hey!! how about another 0-2 series. We dropped 4 straight and our playoff hopes were dashed when we could everyone else who needed to pulled it out in the last 2 weeks and we could not cut it with a 1-1 series. after 4 straight losses, it was pretty much like the last 2 weeks did not matter. I'm 100 percent sure we were robbed of a chance in the playoffs, but that didn't make the playoffs any less interesting to watch. I'll congratulate the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers and the New Orleans Second Line, but I can also imagine a world where we have our team on that winners list.
19. Joining the Tijuana Luchadores locker room as a dude from New Zealand was a huge culture shock and change but it took me less than 10 minutes to feel welcomed. I was taught very little spanish in New Zealand so ending up in a place called the "vestuario" didn't make any sense to me... well that was until I learned it just meant "Locker Room" haha! I had never played American Football in college, but it wasn't my first time in a locker room, thanks football I mean soccer! But I had not experienced anything like this. I WAS LOST!! I had no idea how to spend my money, or even train with other people! I need to thank my mentor, Ultimus Winner, Mason Blaylock who taught me everything there is to know about this league. I donot know if I will join the Second Line when the draft rolls around but no matter what I cannot wait to play with him in the "Major Leagues"! The NSFL will not know what hit them, and in case I do not get drafted or get regulated back to the DSFL, I hope my Luchadores will be happy to open their arms and invite me back to their awesome team!
20. My guess for a lot of people that their best moment is either their first "major league" game or the night they got drafted, but I could be wrong, while those were awesome moments, my favorite moment this season and so far in my career was receiving the Week 8 Offensive Player of the Game for my team the Tijuana Luchadores. In week 8 for the Luchadores, I punted 8 times for 362 yards with a 45.2 avg, I also went 2 for 2 on extra points, 2 for 2 on Field Goals and this included the best moment A HUGE GAME WINNER! Being a kicker is kind of an odd position. You are normally only mentioned if you miss a kick or make a game winner and thankfully that just seemed to be the situation this time around! The Luchadores were down by 1 point with 25 seconds left in the game, and with no other options I was called up to bat... I remember shaking with fear, nervousness, and excitement of what could be. The snap was perfect, the placement was perfect and the kick was perfect... I kicked it right down the middle and Luchadores would go on to our only 2-0 series last season.
