The Illinois High School Helmet Project

The helmet that N/L used from '93 to the West Prairie consolodation was identical to that of Notre Dame (gold shell grey facemask) with no logo at all. To be accurate with this though, it should be included in both West Prairie and Illini West's history as LaHarpe was a part of both. If you dig into the history of football in this area it can be kind of a mess for this sites purpose. I am going to try to find some old Warren v. N/L game pics and get them to you.

Some other ones I can rattle off for you are Avon/Roseville Cougars, which was a co-op from '93 to '98 used a black shell with a silver Kansas State logo from in '93 and '94 and used a interlocked block AR with the A set higer than the R for the remainder of the co-op's existance. Starting in '99 Avon began its current co-op with B-PC and Roseville began its co-op with Yorkwood which used the Bearcats name and used purple shells/purple masks for the entirety of its existance from '99 to Monmouth and Roseville's consolodation for the 2005-'06 school year. 2005-'06 was also the beginning of the Yorkwood/Westmer Wolfpack consolodation which used the helmet you had for it a couple of years back. Another set I will try to come up with is West Central's history (Southern H.S. and Union H.S). As I said before, the intertwined histories are kind of a mess. I think you've got a good thing going here and I'll be glad to help as much as I can on it.

If you can be more specific on the Avon/Roseville helmets and the rest of that mess, I'd like to add those as well...If you can find photos, it would help a lot....
