Professor shares emotional story 43 years later

The Parthenon

Forty-three years ago it was supposed to be just like any other night for athletic trainer, Louis Peake, who was in charge of meeting the football team in the training room after the East Carolina game on Nov. 14.

“My task after the plane came back and landed in the Tri-State Airport was to be in the training room to work with the injured athletes from that ball game,” Peake said.

Peake was one of five athletic trainers who worked with the 1970 Thundering Herd football team. Back then it didn’t take much to become part of the staff; Marshall didn’t even have a sports medicine program.
