THE SIX FFL

In 2016, Jeremy Flores along with Avner Chavez, PJ Southard and Zac Shaffer started THE FOUR FFL. Avner had played just one season prior to 2016. He had left Dallas Christian and moved home to Eagle Pass but was part of the friend group starting the league. For the first season he opted to name his team The Avner Will Win. Through the first 7 weeks of the season The Avner Will Win were 4-3 and in second place. They moved down in the rankings towards the end of the season. They were 7-7 at the end of the regular season dropping 3 of their last 5 games. They would go on to face The Dab Daddy's (later Team) in the semifinal round of the inaugural playoffs. The Dab Daddy's would defeat The Avner Will Win 178-156 to send The Avner Will Win to the 3rd place consolation game. In their consolation game they faced Double On-Condras (later Jayhawks) and would end up losing 203-191 in the highest scoring game of the week. That would knock The Blentz's down to the bottom of the standings at the end of the 2016 season but gave them the number one overall pick in 2017.

​

2017 was yet another season with Avner moving back to Eagle Pass and not staying in Dallas. It also saw Avner change his team name. He opted to change the name to The Blentz's, named after his college roommate David Coblentz. The Blentz's would be allowed to keep 6 players from the previous roster and then selected Michael Thomas as their number one overall pick. The Blentz's would go on to win 4 of their first 7 games once again. But instead of dropping games in the second half of the season like the year prior, The Blentz's went 4-3 for the second half. The Blentz's were 8-6 and the 2nd seed in the playoffs. This time they faced off against the Double On-Condras (later Jayhawks) for a spot in the championship. In yet another high scoring game against the Double On-Condras, this time The Blentz's got the better of them winning 219-184 and going to their first The Four Championship. In the championship, they faced Bush Did 9/11 who had made the championship the year prior. The Blentz's were led by league MVP Todd Gurley II and dominated Bush Did 9/11 and won their first ever The Four Championship Title earned Todd Gurley his first playoff MVP honor.

​

In 2018 the league landscape was wildly changing. The league expanded from 4 to 6 teams and opted to redraft instead of having a keeper draft. The Blentz's would hold the 2nd overall pick and would take their MVP Todd Gurley II with that pick. In the second round they selected legendary receiver Odell Beckham Jr.. The Blentz's would start the season 7-0, which would set the record for wins in a row. Many of the wins in that stretch were blowouts but some were nail biters including a 186-179 Week 4 victory over Bush Did 9/11. In week 8 Jayhawks would end The Blentz's winning streak 193-146. This would just be the first of 3 losses that The Blentz's suffered in the 2018 season. They would go on to the 2018 playoffs as the 1 seed with an 11-3 record. The fear was the fact that The Blentz's had dropped 2 of their last 4 games of the season. In the first round of the playoffs The Blentz's would face off against Leroy Jenkins who were led by 2018 MVP Patrick Mahomes. The Blentz's would hold off Leroy Jenkins and advance to their 2nd straight title game 149-122. In the championship The Blentz's took on Team. It was a match up of the two previous champions. The Blentz's had their eyes set on going back to back. Unfortunately The Blentz's were beat out by Team and their playoff MVP Derrick Henry 173-159.

​

2019 was a much more difficult year for The Blentz's. They started the season drafting with the 5th spot Kerryon Johnson after keeping Gurley and Beckham as well as Le'Veon Bell and Amari Cooper. With their second pick in the draft The Blentz's drafted Stefon Diggs, who they would later trade to Jayhawks for Josh Jacobs. The Blentz's would start the season by dropping 6 of their first 7 games. The second worst start in league history. The second half of the season was only a slight improvement for The Blentz's. They were able to avoid having the worst record in league history, but instead they tied that record. A final record of 4-10 and a last place finish set them up to draft number one overall in the 2020 draft.

​

In 2020, The Blentz's were the first team to select a player in the draft to add to their roster. The Blentz's kept Josh Jacobs, who they traded for the previous season, Odell Beckham Jr, Amari Cooper and Melvin Gordon. To add to their roster The Blentz's drafted Joe Mixon and DJ Moore. The Blentz's also made waves by selecting quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray in the 5th and 7th round respectively.  It was another rough year though for The Blentz's. Odell Beckham Jr and Dak Prescott both had season ending injuries, Melvin Gordon was a shell of himself with his new team and The Blentz's had late season struggles. The Blentz's started the season 3-4 and only won 3 more games. Late season surges from Dafakawe Tribe and Jayhawks knocked them out of the playoffs. Once again The Blentz's suffered a losing season and were kept out of the playoffs just two seasons removed from a trip to the championship game.

​

2021 started in pretty embarrassing fashion for The Blentz's, coming off of 2 straight playoff-less seasons. They made their keeper decision and then willingly traded Keenan Allen, a keeper, to Team (reigning champions) for the 6th overall pick in the draft. They did so however, not realizing the players they planned on taking to replace Allen, were kept by another team. So instead they were forced into taking Calvin Ridley and then Darren Waller. The Blentz's were projected to go 1-13 but started the season 2-0 before losing their first game week 3. Then things got worse. The Blentz's lost first round pick Calvin Ridley for the season due to personal reasons. And The Blentz's struggled after that. Losing 8 games and failing to make the playoffs for a league record 3rd straight season. They would finish in 5th place and earned the number two pick in the draft for a second straight season.
