MMA and Van-Far are from injuries and low numbers and I assume the other are for the same reason.

MMA was class 2 and the other class 1. I believe all were either on pace or were the last seed in their district.
 
So you are all in on the quitting syndrome? I do understand what you are saying to a degree but IMO that urge to just walk away must be resisted at all cost.

Only in the most dire situations should squads Forfeit games...... if you can field 11-15 players then play the game. Compete and prep and don't give up mentally even if the odds are near impossible to win. I'm sure the one seed would quickly role out a JV squad to finish the game once the Score was sufficient. In this day and age coaches rarely run the score up and are rather quick to pull the starters to keep them fresh and healthy.

And if squads want to forfeit so be it but let's not make it mandatory per the playoff system... maybe let each program make that decision.

Right now we are the two seed and we play the 7 and we are worried they will forfeit and we will not be playing this week. They have traded film but they are 0-10 and traditionally a Basketball school it would be so easy for them to just call it quits. Which would be lame BS.

Just reporting. Take it for what it is as it has nothing to do with you.

FYI 11-15 is not safe. Even at the youth level it isn't realistic.

Open forum just responding with my opinion and inquired on your thought process of those teams not playing maybe you don't have a opinion one way or another that is a valid view point. So take that for what it is as well.

Traded film? Do they still do that? Doesn't every team use huddle now?

What are the current rules about school size and going 8 man? I can't imagine a school with high Class 1/low Class 2 enrollment can go 8-man just due to low participation numbers.

Secondly, what's the history of programs going the 8-man route and then returning to 11-man? Ever happened?

King City did and Northwest (Hughesville) did after a coop. Both back to 8.

Drexel has bounced back and forth before.
 
Wasn’t Stansbury a fairly large class one when they was winning 8 man. I may be wrong. Just recalling chats along that line years ago?

I think the # is well under 100 students, seems like there is at least 1 class 1 school with an enrollment in the 60's

There are several schools who still play 11 man football but play 8 man in their mighty mite programs.
 
My understanding is 8 man is being looked at by several schools in Northeast and Central Mo.
