Hall of Fame
George was the only three-year letterman in the class of 1943 and ran and caught passes for touchdowns and returned punts. He was a sophomore member of the 1940 varsity football team that won the city championship by beating West Tech 20-6. As a junior, George was named to the city's All-Scholastic squad in which he scored almost half of the toal points in a 60-0 romp over Central High (including a 67-yard run); and a brilliant 65-yard run against Holy Name to secure a 7-6 victory.
George lettered in track and earned a scholarship to play football at Georgia Tech, but he chose to serve in World War II, where he fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
He passed on November 1, 1973.
