Keegan Fenwick III finds it, in year 7

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Keegan Fenwick III QB
Smelters

Keegan Fenwick III had 200 yards. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go. He is 28, and he is the first man in the building most mornings. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across eight seasons: 16,987 yards from scrimmage, 258 touchdowns, 138 games. He got to 2,675 once. Not this time. Three clubs have had him.

He is from Verdigris, Kansas.

Smelters, 6-1, and seven weeks gone. Bo Popplewell is new. There is one year left on the deal.

He is the last man off the field, every week, without exception, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 7 of 1984. The rest of the season is there too.
