So our school had a short presentation last week to honor the school's only state title team in football. In the program they had a copy of the roster from that season. The team was the '81 team and obviously some of the acronyms were not really used anymore, some I know and some I don't, thought I might get some help figuring them out here.
SE/WC - Split End / ?
TC/HB - ? / Half Back
MG/G - Middle Guard(?) / Guard
Thanks guys

I assume middle guard was a nose tackle or DT. WC/TC? Wide corner/Tight corner? Maybe some old reference for corners/safeties?
How old was their coach in 81? Those are some really old school terms.

Might be a fun and enlightening way to build the history of your program. Get the some old coaches/players to come and speak to your squad about what they did 'back in the day' that helped them win. I KNOW that generation would love to reconnect and feel involved, but you'd also be surprised how your kids will latch on to 'those old heroes'. Even is it is a 2 minute after practice 'rah-rah' talk from an old player/coach; it can create a link. If you do it right, you can create an intergenerational relationship that can make the current team want to be the 1981 team. |

We're blessed with really great kids, they would absolutely enjoy some time with those guys. I'll get with the HC and see what he thinks about it |

Split end/Weak corner
Don't think I've ever seen TC before (but given there's quite possibly a weak corner this could be a tough corner or maybe even a tight corner)
MG would be middle guard---like nose guard except probably in an even front like 6-2, etc
Position terminology has really changed a lot over the years. XYZ really helped clean some of it up on the offensive side. SE, Flanker, TE, Wing, etc.....and today's HB is generally no where near the HB of 1981

Quarter, half, full, wing were all single wing terms right? |
