Brick Hardigan WR
Boarhounds

Brick Hardigan will miss 5 games with a knee. The backup inherits the job for now.

2,810 yards over three seasons. Eighteen touchdowns. Forty-two games. He got to 1,000 once. Not this time. For two clubs.

Twenty-four, and Sable, North Dakota before that. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. He was the second man taken at his position out of Windham. He kept bees, once.

Boarhounds, 1-0, and one weeks gone. Nathaniel Nakamura is in year two of it.

One more thing: he never takes his helmet off between series.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 1979. The rest of the season is there too.
