Carter Mancini returns the favour

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Carter Mancini QB
Roughnecks

Carter Mancini had 116 yards against the Copperheads, who used to employ him. He is the first man in the building most mornings, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

22,267 yards over twelve seasons. 363 touchdowns. 199 games. His best was 2,468. This is not that, yet. For four clubs.

He is thirty-four, out of Miami, Florida. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.

Roughnecks are 0-2 through two weeks. Isaiah Ulmer is in year five of it. He is out of contract after this.

Mancini carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone.

This feature ran in the paper in week 2 of 1994. The rest of the season is there too.
