Boarhounds lose Isaiah Halloran to a meniscus

Isaiah Halloran: meniscus, the rest of the season. The backup inherits the job for now.

Across eight seasons: 5,324 yards from scrimmage, sixty touchdowns, 126 games. His best was 885. This is not that, yet. He has done it in two buildings.

Twenty-nine, and Hollow Rock, Tennessee before that. Around the building he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. The route here: a first-round pick out of Saint Ambrose, and everybody saw it coming. In another life he taught himself to weld from library books.

Boarhounds, 5-2, and eight weeks gone. Oscar Kearse is in year six of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Will not step on the painted logo at midfield.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1986. The rest of the season is there too.
