Mexico High School Football Through the Ages
A nostalgia filled look at early 20th century Mexican high school football. The piece recalls 1903 when Mexico fielded its first team, players growing their own helmets, homemade gear, and a rough start marked by a 66-0 loss to Columbia High School. It sketches local tradition, notable figures like L B Hawthorne, and the rough beginnings of a town sport amid national milestones.
