I played back in the early 70's. Very rare to have a kid over 210lbs. or over 6ft tall on our team. Some, but not many. Our guards were 5' 7" 175lbs. Tackles were around 185-190lbs. Our DB's were like killer midgets. I was 5'7" 205lbs. and considered a huge FB. Most teams we played were about the same size as us. We rarely passed the ball. 4 yards and a pile of dust was the rule. We played as dirty as we could get away with! We were told to separate our opponents head from the rest of his body. It was brutal, in your face football! The kids were much smaller and much tougher in those days. The school wasn't air conditioned and most houses weren't either. No computers! We had to know how to figure math in our heads! Imagine that!
