When did Groom move from 11 man to six man football? I was in conversation with a man that played on Groom's state finalist 11 man team in '75 that lost to Big Sandy in the final Class B game. He mentioned early 90's when Groom moved back to the six man game. I was searching for the exact year as looking back on Groom's schedule years ago it is difficult to determine the exact year as many of the teams Groom played as 11 man are now six man schools as well.

Groom played 11 man ball from 1923 to 1938, 6 man 1939-1945, 11 man 1946-1995, then back to 6 man ever since.

OBK, repository of knowledge in all things sixman. Probably better than most of us at math too.

Naaah, he just knows where the on/off switch is on the nuclear generator.................. which is pretty scary on it's own..........

Corrected. I did not see the little stint in 6 man before going back to 11 man for two years.

So how does Groom fair against Throckmorton?

 

[Leman Saunders]

I thought they played 8-man at some time???? Guess not, but for some reason I thought they did..

Has eight man ball ever been played in Texas? I don't know. Heard it was played in Oklahoma and did not Troy Aikman play eight man in Okie?
