For the 2010-11 football season, the Western Plains High School Bobcats had to apply to become a captain of the team.
Several of the 15 players currently out for the team applied, and after much deliberation by the coaching staff, four players were chosen to be captains.
“At first, we were only going to have three captains, but a few of the boys were competing so close, we had to go with four,” Head Coach Todd Vogts said.
The four captains are:
Chase Rein, senior
Joel Hernandez, senior
Hugo Hernandez, sophomore
Casey Kraus, sophomore
Vogts said the captains will have special responsibilities in regards to the team, such as coming up with a workout once a week and helping break-down game film.
The first game for the Bobcats is in a little over two weeks on Sept. 3 versus Kinsley High School at Ransom.
