Obviously it started with Lohner. He’s like Apollo, god of manly beauty.

Coach Pope has to be Zeus, albeit the chaste version.

Atiki—Atlas, broad shouldered foundation
Fous—Hades, god under the basket
Barcello—Ares, leading the war
George—Poseidon, man with the trident
Lucas—Dionysus, starting the party
Johnson—Pan, god of scoutmasters
Knell—Hephaestus, pounding his anvil
Knight—Orpheus, in mourning always
Erickson—Hermes, god of hair style
Harward—Prometheus, chained to rehab rock
Baxter—Icarus, flew to close to the sun

Hopefully the saga ends as an epic, and not a tragedy.
