Years schools joined six-man

[texashelmetproject]

Does anyone have a list of the year each school began playing six-man football? Trying to put some data together showing that competing at 6-man is better for the small 1A schools instead of trying to play crowded field ball when you have less than 100 kids. The schools that have decided to make the move to six-man aren't instant world beaters, but from what I have seen so far, the win totals increase by an average of two games.

I've got a list going. I started from 1995-present. The year is when the team moved to six-man from 11-man. If there is not a year beside the school, then the school (to my knowledge) has been playing six-man since the 1995 season.

I am fairly sure Old Bearkat and I have posted this info before...check the 6-man history topic I think it is there...

I think I have a list of all schools that have joined since 1998 and their record in 6-man since they started playing.

And some have played 6-man when t to 11-man (or 8-man) then back to 6-man...

OBK probably has this info saved for every team...
