W. territory. squad had assembled. Compiling a commendable record of 3-6-1, the “‘Bit- ing Bulldogs” highlighted their season with victories over Prince George, Thomas Jefferson, and Huguenot. In addition, the Bulldogs unleashed spectacular games against district powers, Hermitage and Douglas Free- man, resulting in near upsets. George Wythe’s ingenious head Coach Leskovar, created a sensation among Central District coaches when he unveiled a single wing offense, absent from the Richmond scholastic football scene for many years, against Hermitage. Commanding this offense was Newky West, voted by the team as the outstanding back and most valuable player, and who became the first athlete from George Wythe to make the All-Central District start- ing eleven. West was characterized as one of the finest high school linebackers in recent years by Coach Rhea Saltz and Newky’s mentor, back Coach Richard Erns- berger, agreed. Instructing the ‘Bulldog beef” was line Coach John Waters. With the constant accelerated football knowledge drilled into the players by these experienced experts in the game, George Wythe this year unfolded a team with keen minds as well as physically fit bodies.
