Ch N .2 2 N Trainers in on game action Time out is called, a football player is down on the field. Trainer Tommy Patrey is called from the sidelines. There is a trainer present at almost every type of athletic event. Along with Patrey, there are six student trainers, Senior Keith Golden, Juniors Kirk Battles and Dawn Gillum, Ginger Green, Chad Sumrall and Robin Timmon, sophomores. Robin comments, Being a trainer in- volves long hours and hard work. You really have to enjoy it to keep with itf' Managers, scorekeepers, goaltenders, coaches and the crowds are all a part of the sideline activities. The JV and varsity girls basketball books and records were kept by managers Dee Dee Griggers, Sharon Pelzel, seniors, and Junior Lisa Hewell. Lisa, also a volleyball manager, said, 'LI like the sport and the people in- volved. The boys basketball records were kept in order by goaltenders Meg These, and others, help make up sidelines Rodgers and Kim Parton, seniors, Meg said, It really makes you feel like part of the actionf, Managers were Gary Thomas and Steve Sanders, juniors. Along with these, many others help make up the sidelines. The crowd, for in- stance, helps support the team. I believe a good crowd gets a team's adrenaline flowing, it makes you play bet- ter and jump higher, said Senior basket- ball player Alan Miller. One of the familiar faces in a crowd at a football or basketball game was that of Senior English teacher Mrs. Mickie Peter- son. I like the sports, and like to see my students compete, I show my students I support them visually, I get to see kids I don't have. I like it!
