Furman's Anderson Overcoming Years Spent Without Family
By Pete Iacobelli, AP
GREENVILLE -- Some might think Kadarron Anderson's biggest challenge might come this weekend when his Furman Paladins of the FCS take on No. 13 South Carolina. For Anderson, nothing in athletics comes close to his journey simply to reach the football field.
Anderson, Furman's all-Southern Conference linebacker, was taken from his family in Rock Hill at age 8, along with older brother Demarco, and placed in the Connie Maxwell Children's Home in Greenwood 90 miles away. He had no contact with his three sisters for five years or his troubled mother, Shelia, for eight years.
