Some Maine schools going to 8 man football
#1
Lower enrollments and lower participation given as reasons. Starting with 10 schools. Eight-man football is played with two fewer linemen and one less receiver or running back on offense. The field is the same length but narrowed.

With participation declining, Kentucky will be bringing it back sooner rather than later.

Bardstown Bethlehem was an 8-man program for years and even won a couple championships. A lot of teams did it in the 90's. Championships were always played at Kentucky State. Most impressive program was the Kentucky School for the Deaf.

Could see this happening soon enough in Eastern Ky
#5
Whenever I hear 8 man football, I think of Eminence.
#6
Small schools are going away. Consolidation is absorbing them. Lose a couple of schools every year.
#7
Pretty slow process lately. I think Silver Grove is the only one this year. Did I miss one or more?
#8
I’m pretty sure Breathitt Co vs. Jenkins this week is going to be 8 on 8.
