The Wyoming 1 A 6 Man ( Yep,6 Man Team) football title was decided yesterday in Laramie. The Little Snake River Rattlers were 9 and 0 for the season and allowed 0 points scored against them the entire season. They defeated the HEM (Hanna-Elk Mountain) Miners .....71 - 38 in yesterday’s State Championship Game.
I thought that those that have never heard of 6 Man Football might find this interesting. Very few states have schools so small, that they can only field a 6 Man team! Small towns.....another good reason to live in Wyoming! memtb

I played 8 man football in a small town Colorado high school in the 60's. Never heard of 6 man, that must be fun. Wide open playing field, lots of room to run.

6 man is a very fun game to watch. Coach's have a great time thinking up the most strange and ingenious ideas on how to move the football.

6 man is not a slow game and usually very high scoring event.
Fun to watch.

Some of those Wyoming women could easily play football.... Lots of 8 man football here in Idaho, that great Dallas Cowboy linebacker, Vander Esch played 8 man football at Council.

There are a lot of them around Texas.
The scores do get large sometimes.

I've never heard of 6 man. That's got to be fun to watch. Must create some very interesting strategies.

Lots of little towns around here that still have HS 6 man games.

My brother and sister in law used to own 40 acres on the east side of Elk Mountain . The oil sands mine was supposed to open up again and someone offered some big money for their 40 acres. I didn't see one single young person in Elk Mountain the day I was there. I'm sure they had to go miles to find someone willing to play football.

I've heard of 8 man football, never 6. I'd like to see that. I may have to check out youtube. Friday night was the 1st round of state playoff's here in GA. Teams have to win 4 playoff games just to get into the state championship game in mid December. Some of the bigger schools will dress over 100 players.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

If I remember the rules correctly, once the ball is hiked everybody becomes eligible as a running back or receiver.

Here in Montana there are many 6 and 8 man teams. Many of them are teams made up of two or three small town schools combined. Quite a bit of travel involved also.
Most of these combined teams aren't very close together. Also not on paved roads. Hardly anybody ever misses a game!
The distance between two towns in my county that have combined is 43 miles paved or around 30 miles unpaved.
I think they alternate towns for practice.

MN has 9 man for the small towns. But I've never heard of 6 man. Might as well play hockey at that point.
Camp is where you make it.
