Elias Prentice is back, and immediately useful

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Elias Prentice QB
Timberjacks

They got Elias Prentice back. He looked like he never left — 24.4 points.

He has 10,562 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and 149 touchdowns. His best was 2,415. This is not that, yet.

He turned twenty-eight this year. He is from Bitter Lake, Idaho. Ask anybody: he has never been described as easy to coach. Nobody planned any of it. He was a walk-on at Cutler Bible who did not have a scholarship until his third year.

Timberjacks, 6-5, and twelve weeks gone. Bo Popplewell is new.
