Mt Sterling Retro game

[pittswann]

This friday Montgomery County will dress up like the 1969 Mt. Sterling Trojans. Alumni from the old school raised the money to buy new helmets, jerseys, and pants to be worn on friday night. After the game the people that donated money will be given the uniform. It was a way to remember the 1969 state champions. The schools combined in 1976. It should be an exciting night with what is expected to be one of the largest crowds ever at Montgomery County.

That's pretty cool...

 

I do have a question though, why are the celebrating the '69 team in '07?

[True blue (and gold)]

Sounds great!!!! Definitely post photos, please!

Harrison will be doing that later on in the year for what was the Cynthiana High team, since it is the last year that they will be playing at Ingles Stadium.

I think it is more about recognizing Mt Sterling High School. The uniforms are from the 1969 championship team.

Can we see some pics of the throwback uniforms?

[pittswann]

I don't have any yet. There was an article in the Mt Sterling Advocate that had a picture of the uniform, but I can't find the link.

That will be awesome. I wish all high schools could do that at some point.

Sounds like a great idea! I hope everyone participating enjoys it. I do hope they are using equipment built to todays standards changing just the look.:thumb:

Really, they don't need no single bar facemasks on the helments:p a really cool idea IMO, but the cost of uniforms for one game will cost alot.

If they could auction them off for charity or for new computers in the school or something like that, it would be a very worthy cause. I love the idea of a throwback game, though!
