From what I remember of the article, the good folks of Rocksprings are blessed to still have a big turnout for their 11 man squads. I think they have something like 40 plus boys out for football.
As long as they can continue to draw those numbers and want to play 11 man ball, well, more power to them. I hope they continue to do that. I don't want to be in the business of being a vulture flying over the soon-to-be-corpse waiting for them to (in their words) "drop down" to six man.
But I've seen other folks say they'd never play six man now in the game. When the choice is six man or no football, well, then the rubber meets the road, if you get my drift.
There are still MANY Texas public high schools that have six man numbers that are not playing any football (aka "Commie Pinko Schools."). Places like Comstock and Tilden McMullen come to mind. But they're saving themselves for basketball. But don't worry. By thump-thump playoff time, the six man schools have figured out that game, too.
