Football

 

 

High School football is big in Oklahoma and our town’s football field is being groomed and made ready for the 1957 season.  Oklahoma is mostly rural, with small towns that are too far apart for consolidated school districts.  These smaller schools play 8-man football as opposed to the 11-man version played at larger high schools.

 

Prior to 1958, goal posts were the ‘H’ style and sat at the back of the end zone.  Back then, running a post pattern could get your bell rung!
