When did local high schools replace the generic looking "H" style football field goals and replace them with the more professional looking "Y" style football field goals?

I have not been to a high school game in ages.
I just noticed this as I drove by Lee.

When did this change take place?

It's always been that way, your memory is wrong. It's called Mandela Effect.

Back in my day, we didn't have HS sports. HS was for learning and served as a gateway to a college or university education. Nothing more. We were too busy learning and studying to have time for sports.

How are you going to say that when a simple online search will reveal old video footage of football games played at Lee High School's football field with the previously used "H" style football field goals?

I graduated from JEB Stuart in 1984 and I remember them having the Y style football goals back then. They definitely have them now. You can see it on Google Maps.
