Though still in his junior years, Mike made many...

Hi

Would this sentence as the start of a short story be natural to native ears? Any suggestions are welcome.

Though still in his junior years, Mike made many immoral tales tag along him -- and sadly, they all were true. 

Or this one? I'm aware this one is a dangling.

Though still in his junior years, many immoral tales preceded Mike, and sadly they were all true. 

Thanks,

Tom

Though still young, Mike had many immoral tales attributed to him -- and sadly, they all were true. Though still young, Mike was rumored to be a character in many immoral tales -- but sadly, they all were true. The junior year is the next-to-last year in university or high school.

Thanks a lot, Alphecca Stara.

Your second sentence says "but sadly" -- what if I use "and sadly"? Would it be OK?
