Prospectors

Casey Speight will miss 9 games with an ACL. It is the second ACL of his career.

The ledger, after four seasons: 9,552 yards, fifty-eight scores. There was a 3,147-yard year in there. This is not it.

He turned thirty this year. He is from Kingston, Jamaica. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. He was converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at.

Prospectors, 1-0, and one weeks gone. Solomon Fields is in year three of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

He calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 1980. The rest of the season is there too.
