'Good guys' contribute to overall team effort When giving glory to a football team, too often a very vital part of the team is totally ignored. Those young men who devote their time to the needs of every coach and player, who are referred to as sons of the coaches, are the trainers and managers. Their task requires much time and experience and in the words of Coach Wesley Frosch, Good ones are very hard to find! He also added Our managers and trainers are excellent and perform their duties to the best of their ability. Trainers and managers are under the supervision of Doc Smith, head trainer, and Coach Frosch, respectively. With three years of experience are David Cathey and Bobby Dover and two years for Wendell Rhodes and Ricky Hebert. Our boys knew what they were doing so well that we rarely had to supervise them, Coach Frosch said. With jobs ranging from taping players' ankles and fingers to maintaining the whirlpool for injured players, a trainer is seldom resting. A manager's job is also full time, consisting of repairing equipment, doing laundry, keeping up with all equipment such as kicking tees, towels and a supply of extra footballs. A.
