The second half belonged to Section judge,
the Leonard defense. Celeste was: ~

the second half and picked up
only two first downs on passes.
The Leonard offense was led by
quarterback Eddie Brister who
did not play in the first half.
Brister led his team to three
touchdowns; the first coming on
a 20 yard pass to Van Schoick
on a fourth down play. This
brought the score to 13-12 and
Brister to George Henderson r~
