Chad Owens breaks pro-football single-season yards mark

Former Warrior Chad Owens has set the professional football record for all-purpose yards in a season. The Toronto Argonaut set the record in the second quarter of tonights’ game against the Hamilton Tiger Cats in Toronto.

The Roosevelt High graduate returned a kickoff for 29 yards, giving him enough mileage to pass Michael "Pinball" Clemons mark of 3,840. Clemons, also an Argonaut, had held the mark since 1997.

Heading into todays game, the final one of the season, Owens led the CFL in kickoff return yards with 1,524, as well as recieving yards with 1,289.

Argos, who have already clinched a playoff berth, pulled Owens from the game shortly after he set the record. A stoppage of play for celebration ensued when Owens had appeared to score on a 14 yard reception, which was called back two yards due to his knee touching the ground prior to the ball crossing the endzone. The Honolulu native finishes the regular season with 3,863 all-purpose yards.
