Keegan Fenwick III QB
Roughnecks

Keegan Fenwick III had 138 yards against the Toboggans, who used to employ him. He is 32 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

Across twelve seasons: 21,811 yards from scrimmage, 322 touchdowns, 185 games. There was a 2,675-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in four buildings.

He is from Verdigris, Kansas. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.

Roughnecks are 5-8 through fourteen weeks. Quinton Underhill is new.

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

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 1988. The rest of the season is there too.
