From one Bulldog legend to another Former East Palestine single-season rushing record holder Jim Lindner (right) wanted to make the trip back to East Palestine this season to congratulate Bulldog senior Owen Jurjavcic on breaking his 1956 season mark of 1,602 yards rushing along with 27 touchdowns. Linder, an Athens, Ohio resident, could not make it to East Palestine, so Jurjavcic met the trip to Athens recently. The two chatted and Jurjavcic presented with a new No. 66 jersey — the number Linder wore in high school. Jurjavcic ended the season with 2,147 yards rushing and 31 touchdowns.
