(S3) - PT #3 - Flashback

[youngcricket]

My best memory from high school has to be when I had 33 tackles in the state championship game against Katy High School and we ended up winning our third state championship in a row, the second 3 peat in Texas football history. That shit was amazing, especially since it was our first without Kyler Murray and we were able to shut down one of the best teams high school football has ever seen. I also think that our game against Texas Tech in my junior year of college was the most fun I've ever had. I got to line up all over the field and since their offensive line has become relatively weak I got to the quarterback a lot and since they play such a fast pace, I got to play a lot. It was one of the most fun games I've played because it was backyard football. My best memory in the pros had to be when we played the Orange County Otters in the playoffs and I got a pick six and led the team in tackles, it was an amazing feeling to be going to our first championship and being better than our bitter rivals.

Out of his two seasons in the NSFL, three moments stand out for Yellowknife Fullback Eric Kennedy.

The first was the 11th regular season game of Season 2, where the Philadelphia Liberty came to face the Wraiths in Yellowknife. After being a quiet contributor for most of season 2, this game was the one that put Kennedy on the map.He picked up 4 receptions for 34 yards, including a receiving touchdown. In addition, while only netting 2 rushing yards on 2 attempts, he did manage to break into the end zone for a rushing touchdown to make this a 2 touchdown game. The Wraiths went on to defeat the Liberty 35 to 14.

The next game that stood out was a preseason game, the first of the Season 3 preseason. Once again, here, they faced the Liberty at home. Kennedy worked hard to integrate himself into the passing game during offseason training and it showed as he racked 4 rushes for 23 yards and 4 receptions for 14 yards, including a receiving touchdown. On top of that, he also walked away with 6 pancakes, proving himself to still be an effective blocker even when he was making key plays for the Wraiths. The Wraiths went on to defeat the Liberty once again, but by a smaller margin, 20 to 16.

The third game that stands out is the 4th regular game of Season 3, where the Wraiths traveled to Las Vegas to face the Legion on their home turf. Kennedy only rushed 3 times for 5 yards, but he did pick up 5 receptions for 47 yards and also pulled on in the end zone for a receiving touchdown. The Wraiths were also victorious here as they defeated the Legion 26 to 20.

I remember my first game at NC State vividly. We had an easy game at home, Campbell University came and experienced the foodchain of college football. I was all over the place, and we didn't have much footage of Campbell, but I knew the plays when they were coming. It was like their QB was throwing to me.

One of the worst moments was getting concussed. I don't really remember the hit, just leading up to it. I was running down a rusher, and hit him head down. It took a while to recover, and it still sits with me to this day. I don't lead with my head anymore. And I can't recall how I felt immediately after. I've seen the footage, and it's scary to have your brain treated that way. But it's better for now, I'm a safer player and teammate now. These things happen in practice as well.

Being drafted by the Portland Pythons was one of the greatest days of my life, let alone my football career. I joined an awesome team with great people. I remember how nervous I was and how happy I was when I put on the jersey in front of everyone at the draft.

There were three defining moments in the short, dull, career of mediocre tight end Paul DiMirio. The first was when he showed up to the prospect games, ready to play and win, and instead had two catches and just as many targets that were intercepted. One of those was even run all the way down the field for a touchdown by Otters safety Ragnar Kronen. This really lowered Paul's expectations, despite being okay at Wisconsin, and he began to realize he was not a good player. The next moment came after the draft, although the actual draft itself, which saw DiMirio slide into the third round, picked beneath players like Roman Thomas, Enchilada Charlton, Jorge Masdival, and others, was not actually the moment. What stood out to Paul was his putrid week 2 performance - 2 receptions for 10 yards. Paul had been looking to prove that he was a steal, instead all signs pointed towards bust. After a brief period of slight sides, DiMirio hit a wall again, leading to a 3rec performance that only netted his team 17 yards. These three moments outlined Paul's career, riddled with mishaps and such little success that Paul should just switch positions. Who'd know, because nobody reads PTs anyways.

Might I suggest OL or FB

Johnathon Saint favorite game has to be when he faced the Yellowknife Wraiths. It was his first playoff game in the NSFL. He and the Colorado Yeti were not even projected to make the playoffs. Now they had home field advantage and a chance to play in the Ultimus game against the Arizona Outlaws or the Orange County Otters. Saint wanted to prove that he can play when the bright lights were on. They did not want the Colorado faithful to leave their house disappointed. It was a tough game at home. Neither team wanted to lose and the score showed. It was the first time both teams ever made the playoffs. When the final second of the game counted down, the Yeti survived, 13-6. Johnathon Saint had one of his best performances of the season racking up 8 tackles. He also picked up 2 sacks in the process. This victory holds a very special place in his heart because it capped off his favorite season. It was the only season where he reached the playoffs. It was the season where he was officially declared a steal from the 10th round. And it was the season that began his run as one of the best linebackers in the league.

The most important moment of A.c Hackett's career didn't come in the NSFL, but rather, in college. In a Week 2 matchup against Indiana his junior year, a showboating Jordan Howard appeared to have a breakaway, eighty-five-yard rushing touchdown. But displaying an overwhelming amount of what scouts simply dub want to, A.C. chased Howard down and ultimately forced a fumble, saving the score. That play, among other aspects of that season, played a large part in Hackett getting any sort of national spotlight and ultimately getting drafted.

Another game that stands out for the moneybacker is the Season 2 NSFC championship. Only weeks after a high-profile trade that landed him in Yellowknife, Hackett returned home to Baltimore to play against the conference champion Hawks in his first-ever playoff game. Despite the fact that the Wraiths were ultimately defeated 16 to 14, Hackett put together a masterful postseason debut. Posting 12 tackles, a sack and a pass defended, Hackett showcased his unique skill-set and captured the Defensive Player of the Game award in defeat. That game was especially meaningful for Hackett as it was the last game he played in a Wraiths uniform, departing that summer for the big-city lights (and checkbook) of Philadelphia. Under contract for 2 years, Hackett can only hope to make even better memories in his new home.

Trying to pick just three moments to remember is tough, but not impossible. Here are the top 3 most memorable moments so far in my career:

1.The game winning pick-six against Alabama in my senior year bowl game.
We didn't make the playoffs my senior year, so come end of season all we had to look forward to was the bowl game against Bama. We were the underdogs coming into it, but fought tooth and nail down to the last second. Tied 24-24, we had just punted the ball when I noticed a look in the QB's eyes. I jumped the route and took it to the house to bring us a bowl game win, the final of my college career.

2. My first pick as an Outlaw
The second is pretty straight forward; first preseason game, officially an Outlaw and BAM! I picked off none other than our rival, Mike Boss. Good to keep the tradition going of Outlaws Db's being Boss' best receivers.

3. The Triple Int Game
The final is my biggest game so far, where I picked off the Liberty three times. Had I had one more takeaway I would've set the single game record for ints, but I think tying with multiple award winner and Outlaw sensation Isaiah Rashad is good enough in my book.
