  • The Debut of 6-Man Football
    The Debut of 6-Man Football at Coeymans High School [CHS] & Ravena High School [RHS] Seasons 1938 - 1943 Prepared by: Chuck Friday September 2008 Dedication Claude B. Friday Coeymans High School Class of 1927 The Debut of 6-Man Football Prologue The introduction of high school football in this community began in 1934 when the Coeymans High School fielded an 11-man team. One year later, Ravena High School [less than 1 mile away from Coeymans High School] introduced its 11-man football squad. Both high schools continued to play 11-man football until the 1938 season. Beginning in 1938 both Coeymans and Ravena high schools converted to the 6-man football format. Each high school had an independent football squad and the rivalry between the two schools was intense. In 1944 Coeymans and Ravena merged their school districts and fielded a single 6-man football team. Local high school football continued using the 6-man format until the 1958 season, when 8-man football was introduced. In the 1963 season 11-man football was, once again, reinstated. This paper attempts to capture some of the early history of 6-man football from the perspective of those years that Coeymans and Ravena competed against each other (i.e., the 1938-1943 seasons). The first three years of competition between these two schools (1938-1940) was captured by a young sports journalist named Fred (Doc) Martino. Shortly after the 1940 football season Fred left his journalist position and enlisted in the military. The last three seasons (1941-1943) that Coeymans and Ravena fielded separate teams are sparsely covered by the local newspaper.

  • Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
    by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978.

  • Blondy Wallace and the Biggest Football Scandal Ever
    1984 PFRA Annual No. 5 BLONDY WALLACE AND THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL SCANDAL EVER By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1906, the fierce rivalry between the Canton and Massillon pro football teams took a nasty turn toward the unsavory. Most of the nastiness that sometimes showed through in 1905 came from fans goaded by newspaper hyperbole. Incendiary phases like "hated foe" and "bitter enemy" lit up sports pages and ignited fiery oaths on street corners, but managers George Williams of Canton and J.J. Wise of Massillon conducted their clubs with the ethics typical of American businesses at the time. There might be surprise signings of stars such as Michigan's Willie Heston and tricky contract negotiations like Canton's "exclusive" with Carlisle, but ultimately there were real limits to how far either side might go to humble and humiliate the other. It was all right to hit below the belt, but no brass knuckles please. But before the 1906 season ended, all restraints disappeared. Each side stood accused by the other of unfair and illegal practices. There were charges of darker, more dastardly deeds by individuals on both sides. Each club swore never to play the other again. And each was likely to follow through on the threat because both were out of the football business. For Ohio professional football in general and for Massillon and Canton in particular, 1906 was a season of unprecedented disaster. * * * To many Canton minds, the first shot fired in all- out war came a few days after the Massillon Tigers defeated the Canton team for the 1905 state championship.
