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.
