Longshoremen lose Tremaine Lindquist to an MCL

Tremaine Lindquist is hurt again. 8 games, this time an MCL. The backup inherits the job for now.

He has 4,628 yards from scrimmage in four seasons, and twenty-six touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.

He turned twenty-four this year. He is from Muddy Creek, Kentucky. Ask anybody: he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. The route here: a walk-on at Ozark Wesleyan who did not have a scholarship until his third year. In another life he kept bees.

Longshoremen, 4-1, and five weeks gone. Corey Yardley is in year five of it. There is one year left on the deal.

One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 1982. The rest of the season is there too.
