6 man History

[Old Bearkat]

Wimberly also was 6 man until the old school closed in the 1940's or 1950's.

Just a guess but probably Kyle, Buda, Leander, Bertram, Pflugerville, Hutto were all 6 Man once

They're 6 man now, but in 1941 Paducah was an 11 man bi-district Champ

An article on the Price Memorial College 6 man team in 1941. Price Memorial is now Amarillo Holy Cross I believe. The article is from the 11/7/1941 Amarillo Daily News.

London had a 6 man team ? I guess they would be Mason or Junction now ??

Another old 6 man school now closed

Medicine Mound. It merged with Quanah in the mid 1950's.

The remains of the old Bula school

I have uncles and cousins who played Bula in football in the 1960's. The school closed in 1975. I think they merged with Littlefield.

Just a guess but probably Kyle, Buda, Leander, Bertram, Pflugerville, Hutto were all 6 Man once

I believe you're right ... Kyle, Buda, Pflugerville all played sixman (some of those others may have); a friend I know used to play for Dowdy School (now in Seguin ISD) in the early 50s and he mentioned all those plus places like Prairie Lea and Harper were in their district. He especially liked the trips to Harper, since the cheerleaders rode on the bus with them to the games and it was a long, long trip home.

I don't think Leander and Bertram were ever 6 or even 8 man. The rest all played 6 and/or 8 man for a while in the 50's.

Carlton played 6 man into the 60's before they closed.
