No Smoke’s rise to the top is a testament to grit, persistence, and smart decisions. After working their way up through the divisions and enduring some tough seasons, this team never lost sight of their potential. Their leader, Devin Hessler, brought together an all-around team that stayed resilient when it mattered most. They knew they were close to breaking through and made the right additions, like Lalo at Center and Andrew Ortega at Rush and slot, added that veteran leadership they needed.
This season, it all clicked. No Smoke went undefeated, a rare feat in the Pro Division, and knocked off top-tier teams like Suspects & Aztecs. Their quarterback, John Moscada, solidified his status as a top Pro QB. This isn’t just a win for No Smoke; it’s a message to the entire league: this team is built to last. They’ve earned their spot among Southern California’s top flag football teams, and they’re not done yet.
