Jarrett Ashworth beats the Mustaches to it

Jarrett Ashworth QB
The Fighting Ostriches

Jarrett Ashworth had 146 yards against the Mustaches, who used to employ him. Two of them found the end zone. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after eleven seasons: 20,965 yards, 350 scores. He got to 2,840 once. Not this time. For four clubs.

Thirty-six, and Muddy Creek, Kentucky before that. He has never been described as easy to coach. The route here: drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

The Fighting Ostriches are 2-3 through five weeks. Rico Norwood is in year four of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

Eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.
