My bad

I made an omission in the newspaper Wednesday in our story about Bound Brook senior wide receiver Deven Baker.

Deven is headed to Temple University on a football scholarship. He is the first Crusader to earn a Division I football scholarship since Donald Iarkowski in 1965. Iarkowski was a terrific back for the Crusaders and got a scholarship to play at Tulsa University, a Division I program.

Now, I've got to do a bit more checking. But I think I got this one straightened out. I should have known better.

Tennessee beat Tulsa 27-6 in the 1965 Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston. Five players on that team were drafted by NFL and AFL teams.
