FOOTBALL Grudge match turns playoff maker, breaker By CLAY CORBETT WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Wednesday, October 24, 2012 9A The Battle of Big Sandy or 2012 has turned into a ght for both teams’ playoff ives. With only a few games eft, each is desperate for a in to prolong their season. Bridgeport (2-5, 0-1) osts the Decatur Eagles 3-5, 0-2) Friday. Kickoff is cheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Bulls may go in with slight advantage in the ross-county rivalry after aving an extra week to repare and with one more ame left on the schedule han Decatur. “It went good and we eeded the rest,” Bridgeort coach Danny Henson aid about the bye week. It was nice to take care of ome nagging injuries and et energized.” Bull running back Gabe uerta has been hobbled y an ankle injury since he Princeton game and was limited two weeks ago against Krum. According to Henson, Huerta is getting closer to full speed. Decatur has injury probems of their own. Jared urdon suffered a concusion last week, and Max Taped up ...

As they get older in the program they will gain more responsibilities.” Before they gain those responsibilities they have to get their feet wet, with a lot of on-the-fly situations. “The first time Coach Newsom told me to cover up a cut I had no idea what to do,” Bridgeport trainer Taylor Reynolds said. “Things are a lot easier now. It’s a lot different than just handing out water.” Although a lot of the students are not quite sure what they are getting into, most end up loving the work they do. Prada Shops • Hwy. 51 S.

Despite the rash of injuries, the rivalry should be even more heated with so many playoff implications on the line. “We want to approach it like any other game,” Decatur coach Kyle Story said. “Everybody wants to beat their rival, but we don’t Messenger photo by Joe Duty • Buy reprints at wcmessenger.com/reprints UPENDED — Decatur running back Hunter Aragon and the rest of the Eagles will be looking for a win against rival Bridgeport to keep their playoff hopes alive. want to get too hyped up. It’s still football, and it’s fun to be a part of.” Henson says it’s an enjoyable week for everyone. “It’s a good rivalry that we look forward to each year,” Henson said. Not only will the winner of this year’s game have “I thought it was going to be more standing out here and having a good time,” Decatur senior Marissa Martinez said. “You do have a good time, but you also have to work. You have to be interested in the players and know what each of them needs to be in this class. “It’s amazing. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s an experience that not everybody gets.” The experiences the students share on a daily basis create a bond between fellow trainers and players that can’t be denied. “It’s such a family bond,” Bridgeport’s Sarah Lingo said. “We really know the players and each other.” When high school is over most students in the program turn their training experiences into a career. Newsom has seen numerous former students become physician assistants, nurses, athletic trainers and physical therapists. Current student trainers at Bridgeport and Decatur are thinking about following the same paths. “It’s going to turn into a career,” Lingo said. “I want to be a physical therapist or athletic trainer.” Escobar is also a trainer at Wise Regional Health System, which gives his students the opportunity to observe from that angle. “It’s fun knowing you get to help a football player or any athlete in the smallest way,” Martinez said. “I think I will follow this career. Coach Escobar has fun while he’s at work, and I want to have a job where I can have fun.” Trainers from both programs understand that it’s a year worth of bragging rights, they look to also be in line for a spot in the postseason. The loser of Friday’s game will have a very difficult time making the playoffs. “We definitely have to win the last two games, or we are playing for pride,” Story not just for them; they have to be in it for the athlete, too. A lot of the Friday nights that many high school kids crave are given up to help student-athletes. “I want the students, parents, athletes and coaches truly recognize that we are in it for them,” Newsom said. “No matter what sport they are playing or who they are playing for we are here to take care of them. If a player from another team gets hurt we are just as willing to help them as anybody else.” No matter who wins or loses Friday, both of these staffs will be able to take something with them that will last a lifetime. Now that’s something worth remembering. said. Decatur knows they will have their hands full with Bridgeport’s versatile attack. “Their spread is tough to defend, and Huerta is an exceptional running back,” Story said. “They make it very tough on your defense.” Henson knows his defense will have a tough test, too. “They [Decatur] are good offensively, and they have a multi-threat quarterback,” Henson said. “They outgained Krum. They just had some costly mistakes and turnovers.” Messenger photos by Jimmy Alford • Buy reprints at wcmessenger.com/reprints GETTING READY — Decatur head trainer Fernando Escobar wraps an ankle in preparation for Tuesday’s practice.
