I had a cage face mask with a bar down the middle. I cracked a couple of helmets my last two years in HS and got a pretty bad concussion and a compression fracture in my neck half way through my senior season. I played the last four games with a padded neck roll not realizing how bad I had hurt my neck. I dug out a newspaper clipping of our last game of the season against Joaquin in 1971 ...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Graduated Carthage High School in 1999. Played cornerback in 8th grade football at 5’5” and 85 pounds. Time for freshman football and I’d not grown a lick. I graduated high school at about 5’9” and 150 pounds. Did not play high school football. I’m now 5’11” and change - 6’ and 195 pounds. I saw someone earlier saying their cousin wished he were his size now in high school, ME TOO!!! Halfway hacked off about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTman7 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I agree....I wish I had my size now back in high school. BUT, I wish now I was IN SHAPE like I was in high school. In my playing days, since I rarely left the field, I was in the BEST shape ever in my life. Even better shape than when I was in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehard Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 5’10” 156lbs soak and wet and 16yrs old as a senior. Ran wishbone option from 7th-12th as QB. Couldn’t throw a tight end hot pass my sophomore year or we would’ve been super dangerous. My senior year I ran for 1200 and threw for 1000. That was alot back in 1994. Now I am 5’11” 185lb and a full blood love machine. I have 3 boys that I am teaching all my old tricks and they hold their own pretty well on the ball field.

Jeffersondogs96 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Graduated in 1996 from Jefferson high school Played 3 yrs varsity '93,'94 and '95 Played tight end and defensive end from 7th to 12 grade. 6'0 230 lbs my senior 6'0 255 lbs 22 yrs later Best hit came in a scrimmage in Tatum in '95. 1st play of live action. I nailed Ken Shelton. Hit and lifted him about 6ft and drilled him into the ground. Then the ever so quick Charles Sammons went to work on us. Hardest I've ever been hit was from Brian Smith of Tatum when we were Freshman. Went on a short seam route and big ole tall Brian knocked snot outta my nose and spun my helmet completely around lol. They beat us 6-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
