Belton is open

I'd think if you had the means and the talent, you'd figure out a way to move about 3 miles east.. even after their 1-win year.
 
They Were 6-5 last year and 5-6 this year.

8man ain't football.
Then you haven't been a part of it. It's actually still the purest form of ball left. No player movement from town to town for a better situation... Rivalries that span 50+ years as grandkids are playing against the same family bloodlines in the small towns. Great sportsmanship still shown to other teams on the whole and just kids that love the game and not playing for the glory or looking for offers.

That is GREAT for the kids playing 8 man football! Truly wonderful they get to enjoy the game, albeit on a smaller scale. Its also WONDERFUL for the spectators, because they get some of the best sleep of their lives!!!

8 man football is great. I am thrilled there is such a thing for small schools to enjoy.

But to claim that it is some pure form of the game of football is just silly.

There are a lot of places around that enjoy the game at a similar level in 11 man too.

It is not a competition, both levels can be great.

This sounds like the intro for a Disney movie if they made one about 8 man football
 
Could be topical! We can start a storyboard here. I'll start..... They dissolve the department of education and funding for activities dries up. Now EVERYONE must play 8-man or risk losing the sport entirely......
right cause thats where it goes or even what would be the 1st cut.
