Pottstown Trojans Football Teams Honors Fallen Trojans With Helmet Decals

This year the Pottstown High School Trojan football team will sport special decals on their helmets to honor two beloved, fallen Trojans, Navy SEAL Commander Job W. Price, a former player, and Coach Bill Rogers, according to John Armato, the Pottstown School District Community Relations Director.

Rogers is remembered as an admired educator and coach who worked in the district for 35 years, teaching health and physical education, and coaching football, track, and wrestling.

Rogers loved football, and this past season he completed 55 years of coaching those who played the game.

“His legacy will live on in the thousands of lives he touched,” wrote Armato in a release. “He truly made a difference and helped many on their road to a successful and happy life.”

Job W. Price, a Navy SEAL Commander and a 1989 Pottstown High School graduate, died while in service.  As a student and athlete, fellow students and teachers found him to be focused and motivated.

“He refused to accept anything but his best effort but could always have the ability to laugh at himself and with others. Job understood the importance of placing the greater good above self and dedicated his career to helping to ensure our freedoms,” wrote Armato.
