Almost as disturbing as the choice for coaches' shorts in the team picture.

 

We never were much for fashion trend-setting in the 40701.

 

...those shorts are even better with the white socks and black shoes.

Is the guy in the front African-American? If so, it is surprising to see an integrated team that early.

Really hard to tell. He also looks older (although in old pictures high school kids often looked 35 years old!), is dressed differently, and is oddly posed. It could be he was some type of mascot or assistant or something of that nature. With your improved picture I don't believe he's a player.
