Our numbers have always been borderline, we were one of the smaller 11 man schools forever. We had the numbers to drop to 6 man in the 06-07 realignment. They had a big meeting on it and decided to stay 11 man. We proceeded to go 0-20 over the next two seasons. We promptly moved down in 2008. I think it has been the best thing for our town and our athletic program.
By looking at the schools listed above, it seems as though being competitive with numbers that low is something that is few and far between.
