Sowers: safe(ty) at home - The Charleston Gazette
The multiple Iron Mountaineer honoree from my hometown getting his chance. What most readers may not know, is his dad held some kind of rushing record for a while (ambiguous, I know) in a game vs. WVU. He played for VMI in the late 60's ("Sowers left, Sowers right, pass, punt, FIGHT FIGHT" - this is an actual old cheer). This is according to what my dad has always told me and I can't find any stats anywhere to back him up or refute.
