We Were In Good Hands

Coach Carter took nothing for granted. Remember the flu shots we all had to take in Talbotton one year? The vitamins we had to take each day? How we did not start with basketball too early in the Taylor County schools so we would not develop any bad habits?

I remember when Sissy was cutting our grass one summer. A piece of metal flew out and cut her leg pretty badly. Guess who showed up to check on his star forward? None other than Coach Carter. He probably had heart failure when he heard she had cut her leg!

Teams these days have a legion of coaches and assistants etc. to look after all the players needs. The Lady Vikings only had Coach Carter and our trusty managers who did whatever it took to keep us all healthy and ready to play!

Thanks Judy,

The managers were honored to help in anyway possible to keep a player in good condition for the games. I can remember on several occasions getting the whirlpool down in the gym locker room ready to soak a sprained ankle or a strained muscle. It was great to be part of such as awesome team.

Thanks for mentioning us, Judy. The managers were on the sidelines, always ready to do whatever to help. Like Joyce, I was honored to be a part of it all.
