Max Fieg has 100-Yard Day for Cardinals

Max Fieg, 14, starting halfback for the Ste. Cecilia Cardinals in Omaha, Neb., recently notched 100 yards rushing in an 18-12 victory at area rival Elk Horn.

Without a single loss, Max averaged approximately four yards per carry on 25 touches. A two-way player, Max also was credited with seven solo tackles and an indeterminate number of defensive assists. He broke into the backfield on four out of four blitzes from the line, playing guard.

Max -- who is named for the late Max Fieg of Milford, Pa. -- is the son of Col. Edward L. Fieg (USAF) of Fairfield, Calif., and Dr. Teresa Hennesy of Omaha. His brother, Edward L. Fieg Jr. of Chicago, and sister, Emilie Harvey of Des Moines, Iowa, are planning a fly-in in the near future to see Max play.

Max wears No. 39, in honor of his uncle Greg Fieg's age.
