Jack Schneider Kicked Winning Field Goal in Last Game of Warde's 1959 Undefeated Season

Jack Schneider was one of eight former players from Andrew Warde High School's undefeated 1959 football team who attended a 50-year anniversary celebration at the school this evening. His field goal late in the fourth quarter of the final game of the season against Central broke a 6-6 tie and enabled the Eagles to finish with a 9-0 record.

Schneider, who also caught a 15-yard scoring pass from Al Bennett to highlight Warde's victory over Bullard Havens in 1959, has been the director of the Joe Namath Football Camp for 38 years. He played college football at St. Mary University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Here is my interview with him.
