DSFL
James Angler joined the DSFL a little later as others in Season 21. He was put on the waivers list where he waited to get picked by a team so he could start his career. But James Angler isn't one who wants to wait for long so he started training right away. He also made a twitter account where he stirred up some other tight ends and called out their teams to pick him. The first one to get back to him was Heath Evans. Heath Evans was the Tight End for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, ironically that team also picked James Angler later that week. They both burried the hatched and pushed each other to become the best tight end. James Angler trained the rest of the week after getting picked from waivers to prepare for his first game at the Minnesota Grey Ducks. The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers lost that game 26-10. But something like that doesn't keep the team down, it was their first loss of the season so they all trained harder than ever. While Week 3-9 was a bit shaky for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers with 4 losses, they got it together for Week 10-14 and only lost 1 of those 4 games. With these wins the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers went on to secure the HFA for the playoffs with 9W and 5L.
The first Playoff game was against the Norfolk SeaWolves - The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers won that game 18-0. The defense was stronger than ever.
Then it went on to the Ultimini. It was Myrtle Beach Buccaneers against the Kansas City Coyotes. It was a close game but the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers won the Ultimini with 27-10.
