Page "Hank Hill" Paragraph 9

Hank was on the high school football team ( as were Bill, Boomhauer, and team towel manager Dale ).

He was a running back and led the league in rushing ( his record remains unbroken ).

He had a promising career until he snapped his ankle in the state championship ( although this cost Arlen the game, he is still celebrated for " taking them to State ").

This incident exacerbated Hank's already-restrained emotionality, as he saw it as punishment from God for doing a celebratory dance after scoring a touchdown earlier during the game.

After graduating from high school, he went on to work as a salesman at Jeans West, a clothing retailer, until Buck found that he was a good salesman and hired him at Strickland Propane, where he taught Hank everything about propane and propane accessories.

According to his neighbor Dale, he also had a brief stint as a tractor salesman.
