MANAGERS, TRAINERS

Kirk Battles, Keith Golden, ani Coach Patrey help varsity playe Carl Anderson off the field. Keepers herd jocks Lugging equipment, managers slaves Long bus trips home, whirlpools overflowing, the smell of sweat pouring off athletes and the pressure of coaches and athletes about the stats are just some in- cidences that happen to managers, trainers and scorekeepers. Off-season was sometimes harder than season play because there was more to be done in preparation for season play. Responsibility, the key factor in being a successful manager was just what the managers, all sports alike, possessed. Besides the coaching job, the next important figure to the players were the managers. They are always there when they are needed. They not only assist them, they also boost spirit too. It's exciting, and being a manager lets me be involved more. I get to know the people and coaches better. I learn responsibility and understand the game betterf' basketball manager Chally Boone added. SCOREKEEPERS It's a responsibility that you have to learn to take seriously with pride, and I like taking on that responsibility, Lisa Hewell, manager for both girls' volleyball and basketball, said. Involvement, spirit participa- tion, and the education of the game can also include the managers' responsibilities. Before I became a manager, all I knew was, you've got to get the ball in the hoop, Chally added. On the other hand, being a trainer required a lot more of one's time. One has to attend all practices, prepare some athletes before practice, and attend every game. During football season they usually stayed up here from 1:30 to 7-9:30. They also worked on Saturdays and some on Sundays. ... it is not a sport, just because we work with athletes, commented Keith Golden. We learn and prepare ourselves for college. l wif f jg 1-what ' , fm r 'fth- .ff During baseball season junior Glen- da Frady keeps score of the varsity team of both home and away games.
