By KYLE GRIFFIN
The Baytown Sun's sport
staff has looked over the crop
and reaped a harvest of top
football players for the 1*67 edi-
tion of the All-District team for
1J-AAAA.
Some choices were unanimous,
some were not. But aU In all.
the Sun feels thst these boys
were the top performers In
their respective positions.
So hold on to your hat—here
we go!
First on our list are the three
Baytown lads who worked their
way up to the top.
At the center slot we pick BUI
Hardegree. Hardegree, although
small for a center, played good
agressive ball all year. An out-
standing performer on defense
the 170-pound senior fit right down the
into the plans for the offensive
arm.
Moving from the line positions
into the backfleld, we choose
Steve McWilliams and Gordon
Spencer.
McWilliams has played good,
regular ball all season. Always
the threat to peace and mind for
the other team and steady as a
rock on defense.
Spencer moved Into the start-
ing role midway In the
and promptly made a name for
himself. Moving with drive and
that second get-up-and-go, Spen-
cer was a key gun in the Bay-
town win over Pasadena.
Rounding out the backfleld Is
Bert Coan of Pasadena and Jerry
Cook of Galena Park.
We have omitted the quarter-
back position on the first four
backs in the district. This was
done because we felt there were
better boys in other positions
and they should be recognised
as top caliber material.
Coan won the scoring race In
the district. Scoring 20 touch-
downs, the lean Eagle was the
spark that drove the Pasadena
crew on. This is the third time
in Coan’s career that he has
been chosen for the team.
Joining this threesome Is aw-
some Jerry Cook. Cook led Ga-
lena Park to their first dis-
trict title. Brazosport and Bay-
town saw title hopes vanish with
the driving legs of the junior
star. This is Cook’s first assign-
ment on the All-District squad.
In the end positions we have to
place Gary West and Carl
Choate.
West, Spring Branch, is the
lad who nearly had a personal
hand in beating every team In
the district. An excellent pass
receiver and top blocker, West
also handled the kicking chores
for the hustling Spring Branch
eleven.
Choate Is generally recognized
as one of the top defensive ends
In the district. Playing a full
quarter of football for every 12
minutes, Choate was Instrumen-
tal in keeping the Galena Park
attack In the middle of the line
during the Eagle and Yellow-
jacket tussle.
The middle of the line goes to
the district champs. Galena
Park lands three of the four
positions on this team.
Both tackles wear the yellow
and black. Norris Sterling and
big Monty Fry.
Sterling and Fry spelled the
difference In victory and defeat
in the critical Pasadena-Galena
game. They have played stout
defensive ball all season while
clearing the way for Cook and
giving protection to Billy Cox.
Cox was a close choice for first
team honors but was moved into
the second bracket under Gor-
