Look at Juston and Angela, they were early stars and still shining bright right here in Wichita. Besides being the former Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of South Central Kansas, Juston currently serving as Director of Institutional Partnerships and Special Projects at the Kansas Health Foundation. Angela has spent the last 19 years helping buildup our youth in the community as part of the City of Wichita Parks and Recreation Department. But congratulations are in order, she was recently promoted to a big time job downtown as the Supt. of Recreation. I'm not trying to downplay anyone else in the photo, we've just worked with those two personally and covered them in stories. In fact, Angela is up for a story soon.

Can you guess the year of this Boys and Girls All-City team?
