GALENA PLACES FOUR ON , . jst 5353. 'IN li dfvjf ALL-DISTRICT I2 AAAA FOOTBALL TEAM Left: Norris Sterling Right: Ted NVeatherly The Galena Park Yel- low Jackets placed four boys on the l2-HAHA All-District F o o t b a ll Team of 1958. These boys were chosen for their all-around ability in the game. Jerry Cook, who won the district scoring title, earned his honors at left- halfback. His outstanding ball-carrying ability added much to the team's success. He was also chosen as Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Another player who contributed much to the Jackets scoring punch was John Brightwell, picked as an All-District End. He was often the target of the Galena Park quarterbacks. MOST VALUABLE FOOTBALL PLAYER Outstanding in the Galena Park line, Norris Sterling received his hon- ors at tackle. His rugged playing on offense paved the way for Jacket ball- carriers and on defense he was a great aid in Galena's forward wall. Rounding out Galena's contributions to the All- District team is Ted VVeatherly, who had a fine year at the center position. His tackling and blocking was another asset which gave the Yellow Jackets a good year in football. Left: Jerry Cook Right: John Brightwell
