What if some of the schools we knew and loved had not been closed. What would a modern helmet look like for these schools. Here is Friendsville which was closed to make William Blount.

Lanier High School's last year of football was the 1978 season. Lanier and Friendsville who were rivals, were consolidated into William Blount for the 1979 football season.

 

 

Here are some "what if they were still around" helmets. Of course they could probably copy almost any Oregon design as long as it didn't have duck bill.

E.W. Grove High School in Paris was consolidated with Central High School (the old black school) to form what is now Henry County High School in 1969. Both of those schools had long standing successful football traditions. No idea what their uniforms would look like nowadays, though. That was before my time.

 

Other schools consolidated with the two mentioned above were Puryear High, Henry High, Springville High, Buchanan High, and Cottage Grove High, all of which were rural county schools. Doubt any of them even had football programs back then.
