Controversy in Slater with
- Thread starter hangmanbobbyjaggers
- Start date
The coach of Bayside High? He might be able to put a schedule together.
Veer and I may disagree on a number of things, (well mainly OU stuff) but he makes a good point. If a team is consistently winning, they are not going to drop down to 8-man if even if they only have 25 kids on the team year in and year out.
AC used to post here. Guess he's too busy teaching PE out in sunny California. @Albert C. Slater
Im gonna need to see this "11 woman" team before I likey anything
I can't really blame him for caring... being in the media that promotes 8-man, it's good for business to have as many schools as possible jump on board. It makes the 8 classification more legit and more competitive. Will Class 1 really be hurt if every school with 150 or below went 8? Doubt it.
I don't know that class 1 is hurt at all outside of the contracts being broken.
and easy wins.
Easy fix... mandate every school at 150 play 8-man. No more broken contracts. Also, easy wins would disappear as 150 & below plays each other and 150 & above take care of business in 11.
WHOA HO HOOOOOO!!!! Bosko likey!!!!!!!
Some small schools still hanging in there.
I cannot for the life of me find a way to picture Larry Burchett coaching 8 man.
That's like one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Keytesville will only play a JV schedule next year so Slater has taken over their schedule.
Unrelated to 8 man teams playing JV games, will Archie be playing a C-Team 8 man schedule in addition to 8 man varsity and 11 man JV? I called Jennifer Rukstad and she said its possible.
Actually makes my job exponentially harder. I don’t get paid to cover 8-man, do it on my own accord to give kids the coverage they deserve despite being at smaller schools. I can tell you covering 8-man was a lot easier at 24 teams than 40+ teams.
That is true if you are strictly volunteering. Wow. It is so appreciated however.
The only issue I could see hurting Class 1 is a scenario where schools just over the 150 cut off playing schools close to 300 plus which could be awfully rough. I think capping Class 1 at 32-40 teams could alleviate this. I also think going back to 2 year commitments would make life a lot easier and hold schools to it. Allowing schools to break contracts at the last second is not doing anybody justice 8 man or 11 man.
Class 1 will be capped at 32 or 48. Mshsaa has tabled it for because they are not capable of making a decision that wont benefit class 6 schools
Maybe Slater can drop down to the 3 on 3 league in basketball since they were beat down in district basketball tourney
You betchya I can put together a schedule, ya preppys!!
expect more schools to announce they are going 8 man. I can't say who yet but at least 1 for sure, maybe up to 3. (think L&C )
Scotland, Salisbury and Westran have all been rumored with Scotland being most likely.
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory!
Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power—
Chains and slavery!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave!
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa',
Let him follow me!
By oppression's woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!
Westran. Damn, they had built something there over the past decade. Guess Moberly is going to get better now.
Westran would surprise me. Isn't their coach one of the dudes on the football committee tasked with "saving" Class 1 football?
