Pictured
below is Alex McLaughlin holding his new Alderson High
School Commemorative football helmet. As it turned out, it's
only fitting that Alex was the first to get his helmet since
he is the son of Abe McLaughlin, beloved and respected coach
of Alderson High School. Alex's helmet has all the extras
which includes an Alderson Indian Head decal on each side of
the helmet and Alex's jersey number, which is # 31.

"Our Alderson High school helmets when I was in school were
solid gray. But I really like this replica helmet with the
maroon stripe, the AHS logo on the side and my number on the
back. Every time I look at this it brings back warm memories
of my school years in Alderson." Alex McLaughlin Alderson
High School Class of 1961.
Alex
didn't say, but I'll bet that's his old grey and maroon
football jacked he wore in school. |
