WEST LIBERTY, Ia. — Jason Iske paused and pondered, running back through the countless West Liberty seasons he's either coached, assisted with or watched as a lifelong native.
Asked when the last time a Division I scholarship athlete went through the Comets football program, the seventh-year head man came up empty.
"I don't think we've had one," Iske said.
That is, until now.
Drop in on any West Liberty football practice and it doesn't take long to spot the stud carving out a legacy in this quintessential Iowa town. Jahsiah Galvan darts and dashes with the ball tucked away, scampering past teammates who are glad they only have to tackle this versatile weapon on weekday afternoons and not Friday nights.
