The team seemed in control the entire game, but we just had too many Field Goals, and not enough touchdowns.
Just like we, as the equipment staff, were a little rusty in how we got things done, the players were a little rusty too. I think much of it, from both stand points, can be attributed to newcomers.
Not only did we have a new quarterback leading our team, we had a bunch of new mangers working their first game. Just like the team won the game, we had no major problems, we just were not as smooth as usual. That always makes me a little antsy!!!
The GREAT news is that we have a GREAT staff of student managers and we won the game. Now we just have to do some fine tuning on our duties and checklist and we will be fine.
Below I have added some pictures of our work for the game. Most of the pictures are from our work in the locker room before the team arrived. Each game I will try to feature different task that we do each week before the game. In the pictures, you will see the manages getting the jerseys taped to the shoulder pads. We tape just over 30 players. This is done to keep the jersey from being too lose where the opponents came grab their jerseys.
You may also notice that some players have two jerseys. One on the pads, and the other on a hanger. Because we tape the jersey to the pads, and because coach wants the skill players to go out early for pregame in their jersey with no pads, those skill players have their back up jersey on a hanger, and their other game jersey taped to the pads, ready for the game.
