offensive line coach Brad Lomax to see
how she could help.
“I approached coach Lomax and I told
him I didn’t feel like I could be part of the
team because I wasn’t as big or strong or a
person made for football but I wanted to
help out as much as I could,” White said.
“I want to be close to a player but not
actually play the game.”
A new position was created for
White—team manager.

I leave my law offi ce everyday at 1:45 all fall
to do this. I love kids this age. What I look
forward to is continuing what I think we

One way Larimer gets his eighth graders
ready for high school football is running the
same plays as McNary.
“Every play that I run is a McNary play,”
Larimer said. “Every piece of terminology

head] coach [Jeff] Auvinen I want to run
your plays so my kids can learn them be-

me everything. Every time they learn a new
play I get an email with a link. Jeff has been
incredibly good to me since I’ve taken over
at Whiteaker.”
The middle school football season is
scheduled to begin Sept. 14.
