At the time in MN high schools, players had an odd and an even number with one on the road whites and the other on the home colors. 

This is possibly the dumbest rule I ever heard of.  Is there a reason they had different numbers on the home and road jerseys?

I was just thinking about that on Senior Day.  How prophetic (or ironic, if you believe he didn't know 24 was GT's number) of TC to give George Thompson's #24 to Lazar, a player who would go on to surpass GT's scoring mark.

Lazar's freshman year he threw his headband into the crowd at Midnight Madness which I caught.  On it he wrote "#24 Lazar Hayward".  Also stitched into the back it says RIP #25.

It helped the refs and scorekeepers.  If ref called a foul on #11 the scorekeeper knew it was on the visitors.  If it was on #10, it was on the home team.

WIAA had the same rule.  Not sure when it changed.

Ever figure out who #25 was?

When I played in HS (late 1990s/in Illinois), we had odd and even numbers for home and road games. A couple other teams in our conference did as well, but most teams we played didn't do it. Some of the coaches liked the old school aspect of it.
