Rent-to-Own Families, Part IV
by Kristen Card
APRO's "Family Reunion" in Little Rock was a big hit—a real kinship of colleagues from across the country. We continue in the kindred spirit with profiles of three family-run rent-to-own businesses: The Brileys of Abilene, Texas; the Fishers of Arkansas City, Kansas; and Ron Zimmerman and Reta Bailey of north Texas, brother-and-sister business partners who honor their father's legacy.

Watkins burned the Seminoles for touchdowns of 24 and 62 yards, finishing with eight catches for 141 yards one week after running circles around the Auburn secondary in a 10-catch, 155-yard, two-score performance. Maybe Dabo was on to something in the preseason when he said he'd never seen a freshman like him .
