@ oneday... I wouldn't say wheeler was unsuccessful. 20-4 ( 2 of those losses were to valley. The years they were state runner up) Wheeler did use 3 big ol boys on the o line who were dang good athletes as well.. But also had a lightening package for the o line as well.. What kept us from going further in tye playoffs were #1 meeting up with talented teams and coaches in early rounds and #2 playing full padded 11man football from 4th grade on and being programed to 1 style. Football is still football but techniques change from 6 man to 11 man... Wheeler also was a weird case.... Steadily declining enrollment for 5 straight years, playing 11man in 2003 season with 16-18 kids. The vote comes to move up to sixman and we dive in full speed. In 2 years after gaining confidence and becoming hungrier to chase a state title enrollment comes in 3 people over, the oil boom had begun and enrollment has grown now for sometime now. My point in all of this being big boys can play 6man it just takes the right program and system.
