Montgomery Advertiser Commentary: ASU's Crowell didn't go out the right way

MONTGOMERY, Alabama  -- Teddy Keaton thought Isaiah Crowell was going to play more in his final game at Alabama State.

That’s not all the Stillman coach figured Crowell would do.

“The research we’ve done, he’s been known to check himself out of ballgames and do what he basically wants to do,” Keaton said. “We had our plan to stop whoever they put back there.”

While his teammates were scrapping and clawing to beat a pesky Stillman team, 41-28, in the Turkey Day Classic at Hornets Stadium, Crowell was watching the final three quarters from the sidelines Thursday night

He was chatting with his teammates, laughing and having a good time.

This was not how Crowell should have gone out. If he wasn’t going to play, Crowell should have just changed into his street clothes at halftime and returned the sidelines as a spectator because that’s basically what he was after the first quarter.
