THE "WAR WAGON" TAKES IT'S FIRST TRIP TO THE PRACTICE FIELD


At every football program in the country one of the day to day hassles is "GETTING THE GEAR" out for practice. With some of the heavy bags to deal with... it not only makes it tough to move the equipment from the shed to the field, but it also delays the start of practice.

That being the situation... LB coach Jess Barragan came up with the idea to use a "WAGON" to move the heavy equipment. The picture you see here is the culmanation of Jess's idea. After purchasing the base frame, Coach took it to MONTE VISTA H.S. (where Coach Barragan teaches) metal shop teacher Warren Marlay. Marlay who can fabricate just about anything, took the basics and along with the students in his class built the "WAR WAGON" (named after the John Wayne movie, THE WAR WAGON).

We used it at our last class on Thursday and it was a big hit and worked great!

A FANTASTIC IDEA BY COACH BARRAGAN SOLVES A PROBLEM.

GO JAG'S!
