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
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.

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.

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.
Another closed former 6 man school.

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.
