Kenneth Weiss of OrthoMemphis has agreed to volunteer his services on Friday nights to serve as our game-night team physician.
It is very comforting to know that we have proffesional help in the unfortunate event that one of our players
suffer serious injury. Dr. Weiss is a welcome addition to the Spartan family. Dr. Wiess's office is located
at 6286 Briarcrest Avenue 38120. Also volunteering his services once again this season is Tim McCormack. Tim is
a certified trainer and has many years of experience in athletic training. Mr. McCormack is there for us to examine
minor injuries and provide pre-game taping along with other various duties. Mr. McCormack's son, Timothy graduated
last spring and was the placekicker for the 2006 state semi-final team. Thanks to both Dr. Weiss and Mr. McCormack for
their willingness to help our program.
