Names - John and Michael have left the building

While attending the local high school's football game Friday, I was perusing the rosters for the two teams. Very small rosters at that; the visiting team had 19 players listed and it looked like less than that dressed, the home team not many more. My pea brain glanced at the names and one thing jumped out at me, the common names I grew up with (John, Mike, Jim, Jeff, Tom, Dan, Steve, Eric, Al, etc...) seem to be slowly becoming extinct. There is a Tim listed below but he goes by 'Timmy' so he must get his ass kicked quite a bit.
The home team of funky first names took the victory for those keeping score at home.
