Small 2A Watch 2025

And to answer your question, some teams are pushing out 40+ players consistently. What do they do? I would say more JV games. Never heard of a freshman team in 6man before.

Zephyr had a freshman team once, but that was as at least 4-5 years ago.

Really? I had no clue! I feel like that is a very rare thing to ever happen in sixman.

 

[D.F.G.]

Yup, though I’m not sure if it lasted the entire season, we even had a 6th grade team but again it was only for one season

I really don’t think raising the number is the answer, there are already several schools (that this thread is dedicated to) that don’t want to play sixman…raising the number won’t change that. I doubt very many would even entertain the thought of playing sixman.

The UIL could raise the number and make an 8-man division, but there are some logistical issues with that. Several schools would have to change their stadiums (one way or the other).

Or the UIL could set the number wherever and stop giving schools the option of which game they play. Force them to play sixman. But again, logistical issues for schools that bounce back and forth over that number.

Itasca has now forfeited the rest of their season due to overwhelming number of injuries.
That makes 4 2A programs that have cancelled their season.

I’m looking for snapshot numbers for 2A, if anyone has those please post them.

 

[Jones26]

Iraan had 98

 

[D.F.G.]

Iraan had 98

Thanks, have also seen that Ralls is 1A eligible

 

[D.F.G.]

Hamlin 119

 

[D.F.G.]

Ralls 104, Crosbyton 84, both will opt up for 11-man

Yup, sometimes people have to fall off a cliff before they learn to stay away from the edge.

Crosbyton has had 6man numbers for awhile it seems. What's the old saying, "you can't fix stupid."
