Bulldogs Gain District- Head Coach Bill Leskovar grimly watches his boys during the GW- JM game. 148 On August 25, 1960, approximately eighty-seven boys assembled on the blacktop at the east end of school. Each boy was there with the same objective in mind, to be a member of George Wythe’s first f oot- ball team. After the hard summer practice only forty- two boys remained. These boys who were known as George Wythe’s first football team possessed a spirit which would win them district-wide fame. Everyone in the district knew that Coach Leskovar’s “chard-nosers’”’ were not to be taken lightly.

Sportsmanship Our Goal 3 ’ ; Ps ' : i) In an appraisal of a school, especially in sports, sportsmanship plays an important part. In our first year, a precedent should be set to be admired and copied in years to come; our sportsmanship is one of our major concerns for future students of George W ythe. We should be thankful for hard-earned victories, with respeet for feelings of others and accept whatever results oecur. Our teams do their best to bring another type of glory, that of the good sport. A good start in sportsmanship is a good start in sports. 147
