They were all four-year standouts in football and track. After high school, Leonard signed a pro baseball contract and played in the St. Louis Cardinals’ farm system. Ray played semipro baseball. Mel added all-conference basketball to his high school exploits. Their families spread beyond Wolbach and continued to excel in sports.
