Well certainly for Khali his Glory days where sitting in the head office of a now empty brand new Columbus arena, there where tears shed KHALI had mastered the world of basketball and league management taking one of the worst too a decent team if we had one more season Khali feels like he could of won it all and truly believes the potential was there and was going ride it as hard as he could being one of the more aggressive general managers in league when the doors where shut on the leauge Khali got into a great depression over this but knew his build and athletic abilities only came too 1 in a million people so he gave football a shot getting drafted 101 overall this was a bit of a head shake in the Junior league's it felt as if the teams werent taking him as serious as he thought he is now popping up on mock draft boards so we will see if anything changes

Lenny Longpipe always like to reminisce about his glory days before he made it big. Before he ever even stepped foot on a professional field, whether it be in the DSFL or the ISFL, he always remembers what led him to this point in his life. In his high school playing days, Lenny Longpipe was a multi sport varsity athlete, and one of the top recruits in the country. He always made sure to give every game his 1000% because he never knew when it would be his last. During his senior season, Lenny and his team were facing the number one offense in the country. They were high powered, with a QB who had an absolute rocket for an arm, a RB who was a walking brick house, and an O-Line who were just tanks in the trenches. However, as talented as that offense was, Lenny and his defense were the best in the country and it was a good old fashioned trench warfare. Lenny would go on to absolutely rip through that offensive line and record TEN sacks that game to bring his total tally to over 40 on the season, and match it with SEVENTEEN tackles for loss. Lenny was an absolute monster that game and helped his defense hold the number one offense in the country to a measly three points in garbage time.

There are so many memorable games for Matthew Mara that you could describe as a "defining" game. The first would be like many, that first time hitting the field in front of a crowd and experiencing what it was like having people cheering for something that you did. It was an awe-inspiring game that forever made him fall in love with the admiration he received. The next defining game was when he won the championship and realizing that his high-school football career was over but he was about to take the game to a whole lot bigger of a stage in University. Then there were the bowl games that meant so much and felt like life defining moments, each one of them.
Then there was that final University game... that one that Matthew didn't know was a defining game as it would be his last of his University career and, what he believed at the time (as well as the doctors), the last time he would suit up to play the game of football.
It is hard to pick a definitive moment but there were countless smaller ones that lead Mara to where he is today. Weeping over a photo album while eating a pint of ice-cream.

The game that will always live in Brian Vincent-Vega's memories is his fifth ever football game. After transitioning from soccer to football and having a very rough first month on the football team, Brian was tired of coming in as a back up and playing for a few snaps before subbing out again. The coach had let him know that he would be starting this game. He knew he had to perform. But that wasn't the biggest thing on Brian's mind. He knew his high school crush would be in the stands for this game. Brian started the game well with a couple tackles including a crucial chase down to prevent a touchdown, and the rest of the game went smoothly. BVV's highlight of the game was his game winning pick 6 with the game tied at 17-17 in the fourth quarter. Brian remembers his post game gatorade shower with fondness. Right after the game, he asked out his crush and even managed to get a date out of it, although it didn't turn into anything long term.

Before Seth Leavitt was a disputably successful corner back for the Honolulu Hahalua, he began his career on the offensive side of the ball as a possession tight end. A true believer in the power of blocking, Seth was a pancake machine who dedicated himself to opening gaps for his running backs and ensuring his quarterback had a clean pocket in which to throw. During one college game, not only did Seth have an impressive blocking game; allowing no sacks and racking up double digit pancakes, he also had an incredible offensive performance receiving. Seth caught 8 passes on 10 targets for ninety six yards and two touchdowns. An incredible threat over the middle, Seth provides consistent results picking up the first down and touchdowns in short yardage situations. He recalls how appreciative his teammates were of his dedication to the club as a whole, and has always had a mentality to put the team first, always.

As octavion speedings is scrolling through his phone's photos, he sees something that catches hsi eye... a photo of him running a 40 yard dash infront of his soon to be Highschool football coach Ariel Johnson. although it isnt entirely football related it was the beginning of sum special. the beginning of his football career. before that moment ive mentioned he was a prestigious track n fielder for his highschool with speed that football coaches such as a coach Johnson would DROOL over. so in that specific day where he was running a 40 with coach johnson in the stands he managed to break his original record running a 4.32. to say that his speed caught coach johnson eye is an understatement as he didn't even wait for the competition to end to practically beg him to join the football team. coach johnson definitely wasnt the first to tell octavion to join the team but something but the persistencey of coach johnson told him he might be sum special, which he ended up being going on to have a decorated HS career.

Being a standout defensive prospect on a team that prides itself with top tier defense isn't easy. Yet, who can forget the game where Jason Steele burst onto the scene as a freshman at UGA? It was UGA vs Alabama, the hottest rivalry in the SEC, and UGA was down by 14 at the half. Defensive veteran Michael King had gone down with a sprained ankle and the defensive line was struggling to adjust. The defensive coordinator made the call to put Jason Steele in the game at the start of the second half. The team and the fans worried the light might be too bright for the freshman as the team took the field, but the doubts quickly faded when Steele made a momentum swinging sack on Alabama's first drive. There was no looking back from there. Steele ended the night with 8 tackles, 3 sacks and a forced fumble that was recovered by linebacker Alex Pascal for the scoop and score. Steele had earned himself a spot on one of the top defenses in the country as a freshman and proceeded to play another three years with UGA before heading to the Kansas City Coyotes in the DSFL.

Before Blacksmith Andre became a Blacksmith and moved to Firelink, he had one other passion. His passion was to protect those who needed protecting and would always be wanting to make sure whatever he made wouldn’t get destroyed. That’s why you look back, he never really had a college he went to, or a high school in the traditional sense, but he did have organized football, and he can remember always protecting his quarterback, especially after he had made all the equipment for the quarterback to wear. After he made all of the gear for his quarterback to wear, he would go out there on the field with him and protect him from any and all monsters coming at him. He was able to, for the longest time, able to protect the blindside of his quarterback, always just wanted to make sure that they would be safe. So that’s why you see Blacksmith Andre as an Offensive Lineman today, because it’s in his blood.

When I look back and think of the glory days, one image is burned in to my memory and will be forever. It was the last time that I would lead my brothers of the Gahanna Lincoln Lions out on to the gridiron. We had battled all season and fought hard to get to the Ohio high school championship game played at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. It was a back and forth game against another Ohio powerhouse in St. Ignatius. By the time the clocks hit 0:00, it was a tie game and we went to overtime. St. Ignatius started with the ball in OT. On the first snap it was a run to the right. I had shedded the block of the center and met the running back in the backfield. I jarred the ball loose with a big hit and one of my teammates scooped and scored, ending the game. The feeling of celebrating with my team in the end zone in a giant dogpile is one I will forever remember.

The game that started Jamdrian's projection to the professional leagues was the first one where he was given the start with Ohio State. It wasn't a breathtaking game by any means. But when Jamdrian got the opportunity he made the best out of it. He showed consistency and intelligence even when up against some of college football's best offensive players. Jamdrian was able to keep both receivers and runners at bay. Either taking them down himself or steering them into a fellow defensive player. And it was thanks to this non-flashy kind of play style which ultimately awarded him more starts in the follow year. And then a full-time starter role for the next two. The coaches appreciated someone calm and collected, who was able to learn from his mistakes and not sulk over them. That has always been, and still is, how Jamdrian plays. Not trying to be flashy or get a pick every play. Just focusing on limiting opponent progress down the field in a consistent way.
