Did Coach Boone and Jerry Harris help Lewie Lastik academically?
Coach Boone monitored all of the player’s grade and attendance regularly. If someone was not doing well in class their grades were forwarded to Coach Boone weekly. If someone needed help Coach Boone made sure they knew where to get the help and that they were taking advantage of every opportunity. We were expected to be leaders in the class room as well as on the field, all the teachers knew what was expected of the football team and were not afraid to let the Coach know if anyone was falling short of the established standards.
