.. A A Co-captains - Ray Krstolic and Duke Wellington The year l958 was a memorable one for the Mentor High School football squad. Besides becoming co-champs of the N.E.C. league, they compiled a remarkable record in their lack of physical injuries both during practice and games, and provided northern Ohio with a few Press Stars and all-Ohio players. The long season of diligent and rugged practice reached a climax on a very muddy field one night in November when the Cardinal gridmen met their arch rival, Harvey High School, and slogged on with FOOTBALL superb come-baack prowess to a fateful l4- l4 tie. This perserverance and hard-nosed- ness exemplified perfectly the spirit of the players, and the game will be remembered as a tribut to the strength of Mentor High School. New developments and moral-builders created by the coaches included simplifica- tion of intricate blocking maneuvers, a su- perior game-night meal program, and the presentation of a Flaker Award to the loafer of the week. Fortunately, there was not extensive competition for the latter. FOOTBALL SQUAD 'Q Q Q
