Chase Norwood done for the year

Ruth Fairbanks, features

Chase Norwood QB
Turbines

Chase Norwood walked off under his own power and did not come back. It is a knee, and it is the rest of the season. He reads Fragile on the card, which is exactly the bet everyone made.

Across seven seasons: 14,370 yards from scrimmage, 205 touchdowns, 113 games. He got to 2,282 once. Not this time.

He is twenty-eight, out of Two Rivers, Michigan. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: the second man taken at his position out of Belmont Tech.

Turbines are 5-1 through six weeks. Duke Gravelle is in year fourteen of it.

One more thing: he does the crossword in the locker room before he dresses.

This feature ran in the paper in week 6 of 2011. The rest of the season is there too.
