History of the Portland Pythons
Season 1
The story of the Portland Pythons is the story of the DSFL. One of the founding DSFL teams, along with the Chicago Blues, Norfolk Seawolves, San Antonio Marshals, Kansas City Coyotes, and the Tijuana Luchadores in 2018, the early days of the Pythons were rocky. First playing in the West division with the Seawolves and Blues, the Pythons lost their first two games before their first ever franchise victory came in a 16-14 win at home against the Seawolves. Although fans were ecstatic at the victory, the rest of the season would still be a struggle for the Pythons. The did win three games in a row, before dropping five in a row. The final game of the season was another game against Norfolk, which the Pythons won, 27-21. Although the season ended on a high note, the Pythons missed the first playoffs of the DSFL, which saw the San Antonio Marshals win the inaugural Ultimini Championship. The first Pythons was led by quarterback Stars, who threw for 253 completions and 2807 yards, with 11 touchdowns. On the ground, running back Ferrell carried the ball 232 times for 751 yards and three touchdowns. In the air, wide receiver Shaloiko caught 84 balls for 1253 yards and four touchdowns. Shaloiko's efforts made him the second best wide receiver in the league, just a hair behind Norfolk's Mason. On the other side of the ball, linebackers Goodson and Retro contributed 111 and 104 tackles respectively, while defensive end Waiters contributed with 18 sacks. Although the first Pythons' season ended in disappointed, the team would not be deterred.
