Knippa played 8 man until 1976, Everyone went 11 man in that district that year. KNippa was too small to go 11 man and there were no 6 man schools within a reasonable distance, so they dropped football. I had found records of them playing 6 man from 1948 to 1960 then 8 man until 1976. I kept hearing rumors about both Knippa and Tilden were thinking about picking up football again in recent years, but nothing ever happened,
