Coming to Sixman???

[Leman Saunders]

Booker 109..."if we were able to go six-man we'd still play 11man"

 

[Leman Saunders]

Ranger 118

 

[Leman Saunders]

Perrin-Whitt 100...couldn't talk with anyone who would know if six-man had been even talked about...but guessing it hasn't been considered and it's not on the table...waiting to here back from the AD

 

[Dogface]

Hmmm....
didn't think Perrin played football a all.

 

[Leman Saunders]

ya they are pretty good at pre-perrin for their games

 

[Old Bearkat]

Booker 109..."if we were able to go six-man we'd still play 11man"

They are forgetting their long history of 6/8 man. From 1940-1963.....

 

[Leman Saunders]

Yes and I did bring that up while visiting with them...

OBK on that topic have you found any 6man scores for Booker v a Kansas team? I remember reading somewhere that they use to play a Kansas team

 

[Dogface]

Ha doesn't even come close.

They seemed pretty pleased
with their mediocre roundball tradition
the few times we were over there
for that other roundball.

I think people and kids are afraid of change. Going down to sixman would mean they wouldn't get into the good colleges. Well that's not true. I've known 3 kids who went to the big colleges. ( People who think they want their kids there may have a change of heart) after they find out how much the tuitions are. I believe any kid who apply's himself or herself can go to any college and make a career for themselves. Change is scary and deep down that's what I believe keeps town from dropping down to 6man. If they only knew how fun it is they would know they made the right decision. Just my thinking.

Never did. Newspaper coverage of Booker/Darrouzett/Follett was very spotty in those days. One of these years I'd like to peruse the UIL archives and see what they have.

Here are some numbers of DII 1A schools over the mark:

Wellington 160
Memphis 153
Wheeler 134
Gruver 128
Roscoe 116
Vega 114

Sunray is in the 160 area and Quanah is "below 160"

 

[Leman Saunders]

Fall City was 121 (9-12 grades)

 

[Texman301]

So, Leman, in your quest for numbers have you found any confirmations of 11 coming to six or vice versa?

 

[Leman Saunders]

Claude 118

And Texman...that is a big resounding NO...other than possibly Medina...and rumors of Gorman but no official word back on Gorman

 

[Leman Saunders]

Iraan - 118

 

[Texman301]

thats puredee down right ignorance and pride!

 

[Leman Saunders]

Wink 98

 

[Leman Saunders]

Was just told Gorman is staying in 11man

 

[Leman Saunders]

D'Hanis - 99 - staying 11man, 6man not even being considered
Leakey - 93 -
Medina - 87
Rocksprings - 72 - have not reach someone who would be able to talk about
Nueces Canyon - ? - believe they voted six-man down in a school board meeting
