I don't know if anyone on here was able to open the link I provided, and find more tidbits from early state championship games.
One was about a player's age. Since no birth certificate could be provided, they looked in the family bible. It showed the player's birth was in 1903. I don't remember exactly the year of the game, but according to the rules of the day, no person over the age of 21 was allowed to play HS football.
21, Damn, and they only had eleven grades back then!
PS-I've been researching some old archive sports clippings of late, and I've noticed that for many years, that the players first name was never used in the article.
