Andre Fairchild QB
Boarhounds

Andre Fairchild, formerly of the Millwrights: 127 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. Two of them found the end zone. The fixture comes round again next year.

He has 18,084 yards from scrimmage in ten seasons, and 273 touchdowns. None of the others were this good. He has done it in two buildings.

Thirty, and Baltimore, Maryland before that. Ask anybody: he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. He was a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team.

The club is 4-3. Oscar Kearse is in year nineteen of it.

Fairchild will not step on the painted logo at midfield.
