I will admit I was skeptical about 8-man at one point...but after watching a few games...i'm happy to say my thoughts have changed....these teams have 20-30 kids from 8th grade to senior. they give smaller schools a chance to play football, build school spirit, and keep smaller schools going...when these teams in our area..Tallulah, Briarfield, Franklin, Tensas, etc..were trying to play 11 man, they were getting pounded..this can kill a program really quick. now they compete with like schools and win games, increase school spirit, and give these young men an option to play..
