Bo Vickery WR
Hellcats

Bo Vickery is BACK. 31.2 points in his first week.

He has 6,437 yards from scrimmage in seven seasons, and forty-nine touchdowns. He has never had a year like it. He has done it in two buildings.

He is twenty-eight, out of Bitter Lake, Idaho. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The club is 10-5. Lawnmower Jawbone is new. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 1987. The rest of the season is there too.
