This is a hard topic to write about for me. The London Royals have only been in the DSFL for 8 seasons total with Season 29 being their 9th season in existence. In the 8 completed seasons the Royals have gone to 4 Ultimini’s winning 2 and losing 2, while reaching the playoffs in 6 of the 8 seasons. Ideally If I could build a statue, it would be a Mount Rushmore inspired statue. On this statue would be all three Quarterbacks of the London Royals up until now. Colby Jack, Charlemagne Cortez and Red Arrow. They currently hold the distinction as being the only organization to have every quarterback in their franchise history take them to the Ultimini. Jack was not able to win one, however he was able to lead London to the Ultimini in just their second season in the league, and he won an Ultimus with Yellowknife last season. He started the winning tradition that is now deeply instilled into the London Royals franchise. He lasted in the DSFL for 3 seasons, only missing the playoffs his first season, and like I previously started helped them to the Ultimini in his 2nd season where they got beat by another DSFL powerhouse with a tradition of winning, the Tijuana Luchadores. (I personally have routes within BOTH franchised as the Luchadores gave me a shot off the waiver wire in season 28). In his third season in the DSFL Colby Jack was able to reach the playoffs but lost in heart breaking loss to the Coyotes 14-13. Late in that game the Royals got a huge interception on KC’s side of the field with just under 3 minutes to go. But after a quick 3 downs that included Jack getting sacked, they went for it on fourth and were unsuccessful allowing the Coyotes to advance to the Ultimini against the Seawolves. After season 23, exit Colby Jack, Enter Charlemagne Cortez. In his first season under center for the London, Cortez lead the Royals to their first Ultimini championship in pretty dramatic fashion. Down 17-14 heading in to the fourth quarter, the Royals were able to convert 10 unanswered points to move ahead and win the Ultimini 24-17 over the Seawolves. In Charlemagne’s second season he was able to lead London back to the Ultimini with a record high in wins for the Royals, who seen 11 victories in the S 25 regular season. They lost to a 6-8 Tijuana Luchadores squad. In season 26 the Royals took a step back finishing with a record of 9-5 and being dismissed in the first round by the Pythons of Portland. That is now 5 times consecutively out of 6 total seasons that the Royals were post season bound. Exit Charlemagne, enter Red Arrow, the 3rd head on my Mount Rushmore of Royals QB’s. Red Arrow’s first season in London was the first down season for the Royals since their season 21 inception. They finished 6-8, dead last in the division, and no playoffs. Season 28 however would be a completely different story. Last season Red Arrow was able to lead the Royals to first place in the North Division with a 11-3 record. This also appeared to be Red’s last chance at getting that championship he so desperately wanted. The Royals beat the Pythons this time, and advanced to the Ultimini vs the Luchadores where London really put a hurting onto the boys from Tijuana 26-10 and they have claimed victory in only their 2nd of 4 Ultimini Bowls! (And remember they have only been in the league for 8 seasons at this point).
That is my statue. The London Royals have seen Colby Jack go on to become the best QB in the ISFL for a couple seasons. Red Arrow is on his way to doing the same thing as he currently holds almost all the single season passing records and single game passing records, except for the two record Dustin Parmelee recently broke the Completion Percentage record and the QB Rating record. Not that there is any pressure on the young QB, but he has a standard to uphold, and he would hate to go down as the first London’s QB not to reach the Ultimini. The Royals are off to a good start here in Season 29, sitting tied in 2nd place with Kansas City, and The Grey Ducks have the division lead with a 6-1 record. Parm will have this season, and next season to accomplish this feat, as there is no certainty, he will be back for season 31. So whether he is able to get London to the promise land this season or next is yet to be seen. I wish them luck in their pursuit of yet another playoff run. Im sorry, I did not include any defensive guys but there was a theme to this PT.
