That's right boys and girls,it is I,the accuser,back in the United States for a short time to give the enemy a brief,but well needed break before I ship out again to rain Hell and death down on their cute little jihad.While I'm here,I need to learn as much as possible about the game of football.My little one,appropriately dubbed "The Beast" by his teammates,is starting high school football this coming year and I need to brush up on the subject.Any help will be appreciated and taken off any time you may have to spend with me later.Anybody miss me? Don't lie.

We had stars, skull and crossbones, and lightning bolts. Stars were given to players who had better than average performance in a game, lightning bolts were for our rushers who gained a lot of yardage, and the coveted skull and crossbones was given to the player that went into seek and destroy mode and made an intense tackle. We also called that one the headhunter.
After the game, the coaches would get together and watch the film of the game. They had clipboards and went over each and every play of the game over and over. They would watch each play at least 11 times because they would focus on how each player did in each play. They made notes and had a scoring system that assigned points. It ranged from -5 to 5 depending on how well or poorly the player played. They would tally up the scores at the end and if a player came up with a certain amount of points they would get a star. The coaches also did this to pinpoint where players strengths and weaknesses were so they could improve before the next game.
One way to think about them, is that they are medals.

The stars are indicitive of a motivation program, showing that the athlete either delivered a quality tackle or helped the team in some positive manner

I know when you see the stars on a defensive player its becouse of the tackles they where credited for in a game. so by the end of the season if your kid was credited with 35 tackles chances are your kid with would have 35 stars on his helmet.

The stars as far as I know are for how good they are.
