We are an Independent and as I’m sure you are aware Independents aren’t UIL or a member of a conference so until 2 years ago, the last regular season was the last game. I organized and developed the Texas Independent Sixman Bowl Series. Last year we had 8 teams playing in 4 Bowl Games in Gholson, Texas. The broadcast of the games were received in 7 countries and over 100 US Markets. Morton, a UIL Team that had moved down to six man became the first Independent Six Man State Champion. This year we had 10 teams. The teams are chosen based on Sixman.com rankings at the end of week 10. Dallas UME made a great second half comeback over Claude ISD, another UIL team that had moved down to Sixman this year. Dallas UME IS THE NEW Independent State Champion. We played Irving Universal and won our game. Our Bowl Series is like the old college series. 1 plays 2, 3 plays 4 etc. some teams that qualified couldn’t make the November 10 date for one reason or another so we came in as no. 9 vs 10.
It is the first, significant post season event for Independent teams and is especially important for the seniors. Every player and coach receives a Bowl Series Medallion that is comparable to the UIL State Medallion. It also serves as a platform for seniors to be seen buy college recruiters when they had not had that opportunity in the past. Our Bowl Series is played on the weekend closest to Veterans Day so it will be November 8, 2019. We hope to qualify again and you are cordially invited to attend. 10 teams, 5 games, 14 hours of Sixman football to crown a State Champion. Thanks for your question.
