Ben Horne makes the jump from a starting role in the DSFL to a starting role in the NSFL. While Ben is grateful for this opportunity and is ready to be a franchise cornerstone of the SaberCats Defensive unit for years to come, it does come with a shift in strategy. Last year, Ben Horne and the Luchadores barely missed a championship win, only to have the dominant defensive unit dismantled by the need for defensive players in the NSFL. It was so close, but now so far away, as the SaberCats may be entering a rebuilding phase. Will Ben be able to add a Trophy to his Trophy case? Only time will tell. But he and his Luchadores teammate Brad Pennington (A Luchadore to lead both sides of the ball) are determined to help this SaberCats team get back to playoff form and to get the franchise its first championship.
