Sixman trivia

[Blue Bird]

Lets add Panther Creek and maybe Zephyr to the always sixman list.

 

[Blue Bird]

The topic of a girl playing sixman. Are we looking for someone 40+ years ago? More recently Hermleigh had a girl playing and maybe starting. This was 02 or 03.

Blue Bird - She played within the last 15 years...her photo and team photo are on display at the Bob Bullock Museum in Austin in the football exhibit

I've searched the internet for a day now and can't find anything on the Female Player.

There is a site out there for the History of Female HS Players and shes not on it

Hey, I just saw her picture at the Museum in Austin ... Amanda Heath, Veribest (1997). According to the exhibit, Frankie Groves of Stinnett played football in 1948; UIL passed a rule forbiding girls to play football which held until 1993.

Does anyone know the 8Man years 195?, I know 1958 was one of them.

Buckholts lost to Pflugerville 74-0 that year.

1958-1975

The district with Pflugerville played a 8 man district schedule in 1957 as a UIL sanctioned demo, but went back to 6 man for the playoffs. Liberty Hill and someone played an inpromptu 8 man game in 1956 when injuries left Liberty Hill without enough players to play 11 man.

 

[Old Bearkat]

Name the current 6 man schools who have never played 8 or 11 man football.

I think Aquilla, Bynum, & Penelope have played only sixman.

I think Bynum did time in 11 man. Lonestar is down so I can't check.

That's it. I think I saw the article about her when I was digging for Groom's scores.

Just got in enough to check. Bynum started out in 11 man in 1950 and played 11 man all through the 60's and 70's. They went 6 man in 1980.

lifegate wins the prize...sort of...Amanda Heathcott, Veribest, 1996 and 1997 football seasons. She helped Veribest start up a football program.

Frankie Grove of Stinnett also played and is in the exhibit but did not play six-man

Blum
Lueders-Avoca

Cowboy - I pretty sure Blum is a no...

OBK - clarification please...L-A is a good example, do you take in to account when it was 2 schools, Lueders, and Avoca?

I checked nearly every year of records for Blum (lonestarfootball) & I couldn't find a time they played anything other than six-man.
