160 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Keegan Fenwick III QB
Roughnecks

Keegan Fenwick III had 160 yards. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go. Out of Ives Polytechnic, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

19,951 yards over eleven seasons. 297 touchdowns. 169 games. There was a 2,675-yard year in there. This is not it. Four clubs have had him.

Thirty-one, and Verdigris, Kansas before that. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings.

The club is 5-4. Quinton Underhill is new.

He is the last man off the field, every week, without exception, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 10 of 1987. The rest of the season is there too.
