In my words
Sophomore year at South Carolina. Last year at The Baseball Zone back home.
The world that year
Banner 18, Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary, and College Football is back.
The Celtics won their 18th title on June 17, the Commanders drafted Jayden Daniels second overall and he threw a Hail Mary to beat the Bears in October, and Ohtani went 50/50 on the way to a Dodgers title over the Yankees. Steph Curry said good night to France in Paris, Caitlin Clark was a rookie, and EA Sports College Football came back after eleven years. Black Ops 6 launched on Game Pass.
