Jonah Bombardo TE
Ironmen

Jonah Bombardo returned from a quad and put up 17.6 points.

6,190 yards over nine seasons. Fifty-six touchdowns. 135 games. There was a 971-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in two buildings.

He turned thirty-one this year. He is from New Antwerp, Wisconsin. Around the building he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

Ironmen are 6-2 through eight weeks. Orrin Youngblood is new. There is one year left on the deal.

Bombardo calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1985. The rest of the season is there too.
