Bishop Prentice TE
The Fighting Ostriches

I. Rowntree found Bishop Prentice 2 times. That is 38 together, and nobody in this league has anything better. They have played 12 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

The ledger, after five seasons: 4,269 yards, thirty-eight scores. His best was 1,073. This is not that, yet.

Twenty-six, and New Antwerp, Wisconsin before that. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. Nobody planned any of it. He was undrafted out of Coldwater Community, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

The Fighting Ostriches are 11-5 through seventeen weeks. Rico Norwood is in year sixteen of it.

Collects vinyl and is insufferable about it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 17 of 1999. The rest of the season is there too.
