Alumni games

About 15 years ago there was several games set up with alumni only in 11 man. Has any six man teams done this. It was pretty fun watching and playing in those games back then, might be fun to see some folks who talk the talk on here go out and show us they can walk the walk as well. The team I was on even had a 70 something guy suit up lol he didn’t play much.

Strawn has an Alumni game. It used to be full pads years back but has since been moved to a flag football match. It's still entertaining a fun to watch or participate in, plus it's much easier on us old guys!

Northside used to have one but they haven't in quite a few years now. One of the coolest memories I have is playing in that game with my son.

No, it was flag football. I think I hurt more after that game than any of my full pads games in high school though.

Always turned into people not even alumni playing on teams is what happened. Kinda died off because of that crap.

There are always more injuries in the alumni games. Most of the players have gotten heavier and not in good condition.

I know Jared Hicks broke his collarbone from a shoulder to shoulder collision in that game. Jared was in great condition, only about 50 pounds heavier than his high school playing weight. Tyler Ethridge was in great condition considering his time off. Denim Reeves was just as fast and shifty as ever.
