I really do not know. I have not found anything on PVIL 6man at all.

I never did either. I do know there is a list of all the ole PVIL schools. You can search for it easily.
Also, Somewhere around 1966 or before, the PVIL schools were allowed to join the UIL. So you would have a before and after to look at.
When I see PVIL schools in the papers, a lot of times they don't mention PVIL. You just have to know the school you are looking for.
Like Temple Dunbar. Home of Mean Joe Green was a PVIL school.

One of these days someone will need to summarize this thread. haha
thanks OBK...(rolling my eyes)...doing that is still a pain and takes to long to filter through stuff
By the way you should check you messages more often

While that might be old news...I have found a ton of new scores and teams that played 6man in 1938, including Stratford. Texline played in a 6man district with New mexico schools. Just about have confirmed every district champion for that year as well. I found a score for a team that was fielded by an Indian reservation that no score existed for. A score for Five-in-one as well
Also 2 high school 6man demonstration games played in late April and early May...but not one word of a Prairie Lea v Martindale exhibition game...

Ivanhoe played football, they were the hornets. Search this thread and look back.
Dime box from what i know has never played football and always played basketball. At one time they were the only small school that could ever give Calvert a run for their money. That most likely was few and far between.
Something i found out this year though. Another town that I thought had always played basketball and now is only k-8th. Is Westphalia. I found out this year that their junior high has played 6-man football against Buckholts for quite a few years now.
