Let's hear it for the athletic trainers

Norway athletic trainer Andy Mendina and Ryan Peroceschi filled in for Neal Johnson during the Class C girls basketball championship at Iron Mountain.

Two trainers to replace Neal? That’s usually the case when the Flivvers’ Lane Lindeman can’t be there for a game.

Jon Jungwirth absent on game night? Might take Pepper Burruss and the Green Bay Packer medical staff to help out there.

But enough of my funny stuff. A tip of the hat to these athletic trainers for tending to the injured athletes.

I always feel a lot better about the game with these guys around.
