Preparations motivate squad for competition Preliminary preparations before games are used as motivative strat- egy. Served by the cafeteria staff, a meal consisting of steak, baked potato, a vegetable and iced tea, is served before each away game. Returning to the school at a time specified by the coaches, the squad views a film of the opposing teams' previous game. Free time to relax is given for the team to prepare themselves mentally for their upcoming contest. Dividing up the team into positions, each coach takes his group and talks over game plans. Players needing to be taped report to trainer Bob Doc Smith. Taping is done mainly to prevent injury, how- ever it is also used to reinforce minor fractures and bruises. Just before time to go on the field an individual gives the team a last talk. This is done to give a pre-game setting and help to fire up the group for the game. A. Standing on the sidelines, senior linebacker John Dyer and junior cheer- leader Stacy Zucha watch the Deer offense. B. Preparing for the Pasadena game, senior Keith Fowler packs his game bag. C. Coach Billy Thames gives the offensive line a pep talk before the start of the game against Sam Rayburn. D. Eating the pre-game meal prepared by south campus cafeteria staff, Marcus Turner and Donny Sapaugh make ready for the contest with Clear Creek. E. Sat- urday morning following the Friday night game, seniors Duane Mayberry, Flandy Davidson and junior Mark Kirchner watch a film of the Dobie game. Viewing these films, players are able to detect mistakes and plan corrective measures. F. Head trainer Bob Doc Smith tapes all players ankles which may be susceptible to injuries before each game. Senior Manuel Araujo gets taped. G. Senior David Sipe and junior teammate Allen Westmoreland close the gap to stop a Dobie Longhorn. Other Deer defenders move in to assist.
