6 man History

Divide merged with Blackwell in '85 I think.

I had stuck Divide in the Permian Basin Conference. Maybe a transfer??

True...but FH did have 3 State Titles in the 80s...I'd say Highland maybe before Jayton...see this is a good debate!

hmmm very nice so ya Marathon out for the 60s Oglesby the no brainer

Cherokee has to be the 70s they played in 4 state game and won 3 of them

And I am just looking at 6-man/8man not considering 11man

Jayton didn't play six-man for 4 years out of the 10 years in the decade of the 80s so no way can they be the team of the decade in my book.

Fort Hancock played 11 man 1981-1983 and it looks like they did not play football at all in 1984-1985, so they had less time in 6 man than Jayton in the 1980's. Both made the playoffs every year in the 80's, but Jayton did it 2 years more than the Fort

That's why I did it on the numbers. Math is objective. PM me your email address and I'll send you the spreadsheet when I get done.

Old Bearkat, I know Oglesby received a Bye Regional championship one year, only had to win Bi-District.

Well maybe a transfer but, quite frankly I just didn't read far enough back. I'm kind of a Johnny-come-lately to this message board thing you know.

Actually it was a bi-district bye 1968 and 1969 Oglesby and Aquilla played a regional championship. That happened a lot in the 60's and early 70's as many schools closed or went to 11 man ball.

OK, here's another topic to chew upon. Small school family football dynasties.

Let's start off with one discussed last year (or two), the Cooley family in Borden County. I've seen newspaper articles mentioning them as athletic stars as far back as the late 1950's/early 1960's.

Another one was the Risinger clan from Bula/Three Way, mostly Bula.

Any more?

I'm trying to place all of these schools on Google Earth. Through research I have managed to find at least the general vicinity of all of these schools except one: Wilson Tract. Any ideas where this school was located?

It was near Brownsville in the late 1940's. I'll bet the city has swallowed it up by now and it's just another neighborhood.

Ole Bearkat your intelligence on 6man or 11man football is amazing. Your research is something else. I have to say that you and Granger are the smartest men on this board. I wish I had half of you wisdom.

I would say the Campbell clan in Gordon. That includes the Kostiha's as they are directly related.
3 in the Texas Six man coaches hall of fame.
Coach and player Nelson Campbell
Lyle Campbell (Nelson's son)
Jim Kostiha (Nelson't nephew)

Also, our principal is a Campbell by marriage (married to Lyle)
our head coach is Joe Kostiha (Jim's brother).

I made a Google Earth file with all of the schools on it, but it won't let me post the file on here. If anyone wants it, I'll send it to them. Some of the places are approximate, as some communities no longer exist.

You should be able to make your map shareable (collaborative). it will give you the hyperlink.... then you can post it here.

 

[sinfonian]

I don't seem to find the option on google earth to make the map sharable. It is a kmz file and says it is not allowed when I try to attach it here.

 

[CT6MFL]

I miss spoke... you can do it from gooogle maps....

Heres the long road.

Import your google earth to google maps
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/earth/6OUeUPQJ4Os

Once its in Google Maps, then you can make it collaborative..

 

[sinfonian]

I followed the steps, but when I tried to import from earth to maps it told me it could not convert that type of file.
