That's usually done by a sagittal stripe on the helmet or an X on its front.

Yes, I suppose it would be. But I've never seen a helmet marking on any players in Jr High games I've officiated. I just get coaches yelling at me "Hey, he can't run the ball, he's too heavy!", to which I respond "Sorry coach, I don't have a scale with me."
