Firebrands
Keegan Whitaker missed one game with an ankle. He came back and put up 34.8 points.
The ledger, after seven seasons: 15,311 yards, eighty-nine scores. He got to 2,741 once. Not this time. He has done it in three buildings.
Apia, Samoa is where he is from. He is thirty. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: undrafted out of Ozark Wesleyan, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.
Firebrands, 3-0, and three weeks gone. Barney Grit is in year twenty of it. The contract runs out in the spring.
He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, and always has.
