Benavides ISD is considering moving to 6man. Post on schools facebook page asking for public input and is bringing the same tired opinions about 6man football...and yes I couldn't resist throwing in my 2 cents.
Benavides ISD Considering 6man
- Thread starter Leman Saunders
- Start date
One of their coaches commented on the post saying all their games would be either at home (Benavides), Victoria and Corpus and said that travel would actually be easier. I believe he was meaning the first year or 2. They are expecting to have 1A D2 numbers I believe.

Someone should convince Meridian to make the switch also for the same exact reasons Leman gave to Benavides on Facebook. Kids are eventually going to be dissuaded from participating which in turn will always result in a hemorrhaging program. It’s an ugly cycle that’s very hard to get out of.

Benavides has approved and will move forward with fielding a 6man team

This will benefit the student-athletes and their community far greater than they could even imagine. Now they can begin reestablishing interest in their program through competitive-balance, thus offering a better product on the field in an environment conducive to their numbers.

Thanks everyone. Everyone on my staff is new to the game so I'll be learning right along-side of my athletes. I have a buddy who's the AD in Klondike that's helping me out every step of the way. We're also receiving a ton of support from our neighbors over in Corpus. The 6-man community has been welcoming to us and we appreciate it very much!
