Every team needs to have a glue guy. You know, those hard-working kids who score a little, rebound a little, play defense always, play good fundamentals, and who are always causing havoc with the opposition by things that do not make headlines. They never have big stat numbers in any one column, but they spread numbers all over the stat sheet. They are not after the glory; they just want to win.
John Fowler was a prototypical glue guy. Co Willis was one. Alex Garcia-Mendoza probably fit the bill. So did Leroy Isler. Maurius Hill and Stetson Billings probably would qualify on our current roster. We have had a number of them. In fact, with the hard-nosed style for which the Trojans have become known, they have been pretty much essential to our success.
