IHSA already has 8 man football. Conference Schedules, Standings & ResultsI'll add, unless the IHSA adds 8 or 7 man football. Then it might be possible. But 11 man at small schools is getting tough.
Do they have a state champion and all that in 8 man? Doesn't seem like enough teams for that?IHSA already has 8 man football. Conference Schedules, Standings & Results
Sad to see this really, but kids are doing other things apparently "these days'.

In Iowa, if your school doesn't offer a sport you may play for another program. My wife taught at a Catholic High School that didn't offer swimming, bowling and soccer. Students that wanted to compete in those sports were able to at the Public High School.Good for Fisher for doing what's best for those kids. It sure sucks for that senior. I'm guessing the juniors will play JV.
8 man is a good alternative if you want to keep a program alive. It's a fast wide-open game. Kids seem to like it. Once you strap it on its still football. I think we're up to about 10 conferences in Wisconsin. You gotta do what you gotta do.
