Slippery Boxwell returns from the knee

Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Slippery Boxwell QB
Turbines

They got Slippery Boxwell back. He looked like he never left — 27.8 points.

5,708 yards over four seasons. Eighty touchdowns. Sixty games. He has never had a year like it. He has done it in two buildings.

Newark, New Jersey is where he is from. He is twenty-seven. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. Nobody planned any of it. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows.

Turbines are 1-2 through three weeks. Duke Gravelle is in year sixteen of it.

One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 3 of 2013. The rest of the season is there too.
