1920 All-County Football Team

Four county football coaches named the 1920 All-County Football Team. The Clay County Republican newspaper published their list on December 23, 1920 - front page news.

We'll take a run at uncovering first names for the players - on going project for a time. (see below) Suggestions appreciated. Also, any comments about Grandpa or your Great, Grand Dad. 

Sutton Players mentioned:

Kniss       - Alfred, Class of '21
Schultz    - Fredrick, Class of '23
Wieland  - Edwin, maybe Milton, Class of '22 - both on Sutton's 1922 Class A championship basketball team
Speilman - Herbert, Class of '23, also on '22 Class A championship team.
Bennett   - Alton, Class of '21

Kahm       - Alex, Freshman, Class of '24, known to some as Catherine Cassell's brother.
