The meniscus took something from Cannon Ridgeway

Cannon Ridgeway DL
The Toboggans

Cannon Ridgeway is cleared. That is not the same as recovered. He lost 11.3 points of ability and will not get them back.

He turned thirty-one this year. He is from Coalport, Alabama. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. He was the highest-rated recruit his state had produced in a decade.

The Toboggans, 9-8, and eighteen weeks gone. Chad Thunderthighs is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Ridgeway learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 1979. The rest of the season is there too.
