6 man History
- Thread starter Old Bearkat
- Start date
From the Reporter-News, October 29, 1942 on the Buffalo Bisons 6 man schedule and 1942 results. This was another of the Taylor County 6 man schools.
Another little article on the Trent Gorillas from the November 13, 1942 Abilene paper
From the Abilene paper September 6, 1942 on the difficulties of re-constituting the Taylor County 6 man district.
From the Abilene paper Septmeber 13, 1942 on the Divide-Sylvester game.
From the October 31, 1942 Abilene paper on the Divide-Dowell game
1941 Hallettsville Brahmas 6 man team
I never found the results of the bi-district game between Dowell and Trent.
Good stuff...I wonder if because of the difficulty forming the Taylor County League, District 8, that is why the UIL has that district as not playing for 1942...wonder if it ended up being a non-official UIL district? And it appears Dowell played! Love the ARN printing the team photos...I have alot from 1939-41.
That one article about Trent winning their district...all the teams it lists that Trent beat to win district...none of them were in their district:
Buffalo, Divide, McCaulley...none of those would have been in District 8...
Buffalo, Divide, McCaulley...none of those would have been in District 8...
In 1942 Buffalo was in District 9. Official UIL list of Six-Man Districts for 1942:
District 9: Buffalo, Burkett, Centennial, Novice, Talpa
No champions was reported
District 9: Buffalo, Burkett, Centennial, Novice, Talpa
No champions was reported
You ought to list the districts over the years on here. That would be interesting. I bet several of them were non-UIL that year.

There should be a book from all this. lol..
Funny, I was watching the documentary "Dust Bowl" last night and it dawned on me that 6 man football started coming in to Texas the same time the farmers were changing the way they grew crops and the rains returned ...37/38. Some of the town folk that spoke in it were from Follett.
good times....good times......
