Sixman Towns with Colleges ?

[Longhorn85]

So I spent a bit of time at “what was called then” ,. Ranger Junior College .. which became Ranger College .. a part of the Tarleton system.

I am just curious how many other 6man towns currently have college universities ?

I know this happens when towns tend to shrink because of jobs and such available ,, but the college still supports the area.

Stephenville, home of Tarleton has Stephenville Faith. Not UIL but repeat state champs a few years back. Not what many of us would think of as a sixman town maybe.

Tarleton is a part of the Texas A&M system, but Ranger College is not a part of that system.

[Longhorn85]

That is true .. but they have a reciprocal system of transfer of hours which benefits kids in the area … and now a Ranger College location in Stephenville as well at the old bowling alley that allows for a Junior College induction into Tarleton

Keene

 

[Longhorn85]

Throck is actually called officially Throckmorton Collegiate ISD

Keene

Keene .. independent.. good call … Southwestern Adventist U right ?

 

[kdstew3]

Keene

I wouldn't count Keene as a small 6 man town. They have 1,053 students which would put them at 4A, if in the UIL. (Edit: should read 3AD2)

They tuned 366 in high school in the latest enrollment.

haha oops. I did mess that up. 3AD2 size then.

 

[sixmanfan2007]

With that many students why are they playing independent 6-man?

 

[kdstew3]

With that many students why are they playing independent 6-man?

I believe it is because that allows them to have Fridays off (it's a Seventh Day Adventist town) and 11 man is almost exclusively on Fridays. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be much interest (for a town that size), at all, in football there, with mostly empty stands and maybe 15 or so players.

I was thinking it was because they have only had football for about 4 years now. Not sure about numbers this season but they have a JV team. I understand that they are playing 6 man to drum up interest in a sport they have never had. I would assume they would make the jump to 11 man soon, but just an assumption on my part. They seem to be getting better every year. I'm sure they will make the switch about the time they have 6 man all figured out.
