    Who is #2 in D1?

    The 1985 Jayton and 1982 Highland teams probably are putting out the best defenses as well as 2017 Borden Co that I think could hold Gordon to 4 and outs...question would be how many possessions they could do that and would they be able to capitalize and score points....2015 Crowell 2021 Strawn...

    Best six man football players of all time

    Goonie...I think that 2017 team could give this years Gordon team a good game.

    Best six man football players of all time

    Dewayne Miles, Damien Jackson, Ben Crockett, Grayson Rigdon, Tyler Ethridge, Trey Richey, Monte Richburg, Manuel Beltran, Jack Pardee, Ken Konz, Ed Sprinkle I would say Rigdon, Ethridge, Beltran and Konz are the top 4 that are the same type of player...a "6man player"...if you are talking just...

    Who is #2 in D1?

    That doesnt apply for playoffs...they still had to win those games. Those Christoval teams were the real deal...1988 New Home and Christoval were tough playoff games, 1989 playoffs games were brutally tough, 1990 might have been their easiest schedule but also might be bc they were so good...

    Who is #2 in D1?

    As for Gordon vs The Fort mythical game...it is hard to decide which Fort team was the best but for sure they seemed to have an issue with PATs...if you watch the 1988 state game they are dropkicking PATs...The Fort would find some holes with their passing game but I think Gordon beats which...

    Who is #2 in D1?

    I would argue the division split has made it much easier for teams to win multiple titles....so Fort winning their 4 in a row was harder imo. The bracket had tougher matchups from bi-district on making upsets more likely. I think we all can agree that the last two years a Jayton v Gordon state...

    State Games

    It would have to be a team that stood a chance to stop their offense. I am having a hard time thinking of a team that could match up with the number of play makers this Gordon team has. There are teams with a better player but not 4 better players. Im not sure these teams would beat Gordon...

    Richland Springs

    unless RS had some shuffling of coaching duties when they offered him a contract I would assume he replaced the suspended assistant coach and Harley Ethridge, who was the HC, is still the HC...a RS person should be able to answer that...so this would be his first trip to state as an assistant coach

    What steps would it take to make 1A football more competitive?

    I would prefer the old one division but have learned to accept the two division, my feelings are more personal than altruistic. I can see how two divisions have been helpful at the lower level of play. Coach Jones and Winters I cant disagree with their opinions on this stuff and are great...

    What steps would it take to make 1A football more competitive?

    Epler's suggested or opinion for the cut off for 6man schools was 100...I dont know if he changed his opinion on it over time but it was orginally invented with 100 in his mind. I like a higher 6man cut off and honestly think it should be 110 or 115 because I like the game and think more...

    What steps would it take to make 1A football more competitive?

    Again maybe 20 out of 100 schools want that, dont believe me then poll the D11A schools and coaches and ask the association leaders like I did a few years back...only the 1As playing 11man which was about (10-12 schools) wanted that and not many 6man coaches and even less school admins...now...

    What steps would it take to make 1A football more competitive?

    If a school does not want to play football, why make them? Cost alone for a field and stadium now would be a major obstacle for most small rural schools. Forcing people to do something they dont want to do isnt really a good solution to anything. 8man will not come back, there was a very...
