3) For any team, certain players and users have gone above and beyond, shaping the legacy of the franchise. Choose any ISFL or DSFL team and create a Mount Rushmore for that team. Who in your mind are the four most noteworthy figures of the team’s history? Why does each one of your included figures deserve that recognition, and how did each of them make their mark?
The DSFL team I choose would be the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers in season 20. The vaunted defense of that team was lead by Prince Vegeta, Dax Frost, HeHateMe PickSix and Rotticus Scott. Those were the 4 members of the secondary and the legendary No Fly Zone defense. Not only was the secondary great in that year, but they had support from players like Rapid Eagle as well. However, the 4 members of that legendary secondary would be my choices for the Mount Rushmore of that team.
Prince Vegeta, @jeffie43 the undisputed leader of that secondary was a hard hitting Safety, that essentially made it possible for the Corners to press and bump all season long knowing they had a speedy and sure fire tackler behind them if they somehow missed defending the pass, and that didn't happen too often. Vegeta had an astounding 129 tackles that season, from a Free Safety spot and ranked in the top 10 of that category surrounded by Linebackers. He also picked off 3 passes and had a sack to go along with his 4 tackle for losses and 2 forced fumbles. A true defensive specialist that gave the rest of the unit the confidence to take bigger risks to make the play knowing that had a very reliable Safety behind them.
Dax Frost, @Frostbite lined up opposite of HeHateMe PickSix in the corner back position and shut down opposite wide receivers like it was going out of style. This was before the became a generational running back, most people forget he had great success this season as a Corner and played on easily the best defensive team in football in history. Dax finished the season with 46 tackles, 2 interceptions and 10 pass defended. While his stats may not be eye popping, it still gave opposing QB's pause when throwing to his side of the field, because the alternative was either getting sacked by Rapid Eagle, or throwing to PickSix's side of the field, which was extremely ill-advised.
HeHateMe PickSix, came over to the Buccs in week 6, after demanding a trade out of the floundering Portland Pythons team and his wish was granted. PickSix had 0 ints, 0 PDs 0 FF 0 FR going into week 7 because he felt that Portland was not utilizing him properly. Shortly after becoming a member of the Buccs, PickSix exploded onto the scene and cemented himself as part of this amazing defense. He finished the year with 35 Tackles, 5 interceptions, 19 passes defended and a blocked punt. in 8 weeks. Absolutely ridiculous numbers, and it is no coincidence either that after PickSix joined the Buccs, they went undefeated the rest of the way culminating in a 12-2 record for the season. PickSix benefitted greatly from QB's too scared to throw deep, knowing Vegeta would be there along with Scott, and it was either throw it to their best receiver on PickSix's side, or throw it to Dax Frost's side where it would almost be as likely to be an incomplete pass or even worse an interception.
The last member of this Mount Rushmore is Rotticus Scott @RotticusScott The strong safety that gave the entire defensive unit a sense of calm knowing they could make plays on the ball and even if they missed they would have Scott covering for their mistakes. Scott finished the year with 49 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 sack and 2 pass defended. Not eye popping numbers, but he didn't need to have personal stats, his job was to ensure that he covered for PickSix in case his theatrics missed on a big play. Scott gave PickSix the confidence he needed to always go for the highlight play, knowing that it would not cost the team a thing if he missed because Scott was always behind him to tackle the ball carrier if he got past the corner.
One of the best defenses in the history of the DSFL they led the league in Interceptions, and Passes Defended that year and were 2nd in total Sacks by a team. They also gave up a ridiculous 119 points in 14 games... an average of 8.5 points a game.
This is the mount rushmore not only for the Buccs, but for one of the greatest defenses ever assembled. The talent that this team assembled was an incredible feat, and it showed in the ISFL draft immediately following this season. Prince Vegeta went number 1 overall to the Orange County Otters, HeHateMe PickSix went 4th overall to the San Jose Sabercats, Leon McDavid, a solid blocking TE went 12th overall to the Sabercats, Rapid Eagle went 13th overall to the Orange Country Otters, Trevor Mouseman, another member of this secondary went 16th overall, Rotticus Scott went 17th overall. Dax Frost went 29th overall to the Yellowknife Wraiths, many believe Dax fell in the draft because of his wanting to play running back, and he has gone on to become one of the premier running backs of the ISFL.
In total, in the first 30 picks of the ISFL draft that year, 9 of those picks were from this legendary team. that's almost 33% of the first 30 picks were a member of this team.
