165 against the club that let him go

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Silas Kowalczyk RB
Sentinels

165 yards for Silas Kowalczyk, against the club that did not want him. We did. He has never been described as easy to coach, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after six seasons: 7,592 yards, twenty-nine scores. There was a 2,155-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in five buildings.

He is twenty-nine, out of Doverville, Georgia. The route here: converted from linebacker in his second professional season.

Sentinels, 7-6, and fourteen weeks gone. Duke Zeller is new. He is out of contract after this.

Kowalczyk has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 1997. The rest of the season is there too.
