Jack "Blackjack" Ferrante

Collected his football card as a kid in 1948. Remember being impressed that he was not a college graduate. Met his daughter and son-in-law recently and surprised both when, by chance, we talked about the 1948-49 Eagles and I recalled the uniqueness of Blackjack Ferrante,

I played football under Jacks tutelage on the 1959 Monsignor Bonner High School City champions. Jack move me from half back to fullback in my senior year to accommodate Joe triola. Under Jack coaching we won the Catholic league and of course beat Central and amazing 54-0. I tied or was the high scorer of the Philadelphia area thank you Jack my memories are many and indeled my mind and heart
