Cannoneers lose Ibrahim Garrity to a broken leg

Ibrahim Garrity is hurt again, and this time it is a broken leg and the whole season. The backup inherits the job for now. Draft accordingly.

Across eight seasons: 8,293 yards from scrimmage, fifty-six touchdowns, 121 games. There was a 1,972-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in two buildings.

Twenty-nine, and Oakland, California before that. He is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: undrafted out of Hollisburg, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

Cannoneers are 1-2 through three weeks. Hoot Jessup is in year twelve of it. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 3 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
