Sterling Rangers Open 1968 Grid Season On Road
Sterling will open the 1968 football season on the road at Houston's Tully Stadium against Westchester. Coach Kudla and staff have prepared with two-a-days and scrimmages, believing this opener could be their toughest in years as they aim to improve on last season's 0-10 finish. Westchester, in its second year of football, returns eight senior starters and competes in district 164A with Memorial, Conroe, Jepperson Branch, and Spring Woods.
