Tickets are now available for the big football Jamboree slated for the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Sept. 4. LHS Athletic Director Earl Burt has the tickets in his office and the advance
sale is now underway.
One outstanding benefit of the Tangerine Bowl affair is that the participating schools get to retain all money they bring in as a result of their advance ticket sales. This means that if Leesburg High School sells $5,000 worth of tickets locally, the school athletic department retains all $5,000.
This should offer a bonanza for Leesburg High School, as they engage in the four team Jamboree with Orlando powers Edgewater and Boone, plus Class AA power Titusville.
Tickets can be purchased by calling Earl Burt, Director of Athletics at LHS. Remember, all tickets sold here will be for the benefit of the local school's athletic department. All tickets sold at the gate in Orlando will be split four ways, with every school participating receiving twenty five percent of the gate receipts.
The Jamboree should offer a fine football bargain, as all teams entered to play have excellent track records as solid football teams. Boone, serving as host school, was Class AA District champions last year and is coached by Tom Bolen.
Edgewater is a team that is reputed to be loaded once again and should be the odds-on favorite to capture the metro "Conference in 1970. Edgewater is coached by Bob Dolce, in his first year at the helm since the departure of Don Blackwelder.
Titusville is always a fine well-coached football squad and it gives Leesburg three AA schools as competition in the same evening. Only two will be opponents though, as each team plays one half.
The Jamboree is slated to get underway at 7:30 and tickets are priced at $1 for students and $2 for adults.
Buy your tickets in advance at home.
