Lyons-Decatur wouldn't be 11-man on their own, so unlikely they are separating.

Not that it means anything, but also found it interesting that Lyons-Decator has declared 11-man, but Bancroft-Rosalie has not declared. Are they possibly not renewing the BRLD football co-op?
They’ll create a new mascot with new colors IMO.Shelton voted in favor 6-0 last night at their board meeting.
No clue what will happen with mascot. Doubt it stays Eagles though
If the Wood River/Shelton coop goes through any idea on if they will rename the coop or would they stay the Wood River/Shelton Eagles? I know the JH football teams that are cooped are the Bird Dogs but I find that hard to believe they would do that for varsity football.
I'll go on record as saying this is a bad decision by Winside. They have 6-man participation numbers and are 6-man eligible. I sure hope their decision doesn't negatively affect teams in the next 2-year cycle with forfeits.
Doniphan-Trumbull will play 11 manLooks like C2 could be very small.
Is the Wood River/Shelton Co-Op happening?
Anybody hear about decisions from:
NP St. Pat's
Hastings St. Cecilia
Doniphan-Trumbull
Johnson County Central
Conestoga
Stanton
Superior
Sandy Creek
Freeman
Gordon Rushville (Could be C1?)
Teams that were 8man, but could have C2 numbers:
Ainsworth
Ravenna
Palmyra
Lutheran High Northeast
Perkins County
Wakefield
C2 Dropping to 8-man:
Shelby-Rising City
Southern Valley
C2 teams bumping up to C1? -
St. Paul
North Bend?
Battle Creek?
Gibbon?
Gordon-Rushville? (Maybe 8-man?)
C1 teams close to dropping to C2?
Lincoln Lutheran?
Neumann?
Ord?
Fillmore Central?
Kearney Catholic?
Lincoln Christian?
Chase County?
C2 could be in the low to mid 30's pretty easily.
I'd say that's a poor excuse to stay 8-man, continue not to play JV level games, and risk being able to play varsity games from week-to-week.
Give your kids a chance.
Does anybody know how many kids play at the junior high level for Winside?
Any word on Ponca, Crofton, or Stanton? Thought Crofton might be able to be playoff eligible. The other two would likely be opt downs.
Winside going 6 man or cooping with Randolph? Thought they had talks previously?
That’s what is weird. If it’s working in junior high, why not try it at the high school level?They have been in a co-op with Randolph for junior high football for the last several years.
The word is Randolph and Winside are both going 6 man
It is rare for 6-man to play JV games. Numbers and depth are already thin to razor thin. That is why they are playing 6-man. Usually see jv games as a result of an 8-man team forfeiting their schedule and asking 6-man schools to schedule them in a jv contest.Do 6-man teams in the state play JV games?
Stanton would be playoff eligible, not an opt down, boy numbers are low and would be able to field a very good 8 man team next yearThe word is Randolph and Winside are both going 6 man
They make it official yet?Stanton would be playoff eligible, not an opt down, boy numbers are low and would be able to field a very good 8 man team next year
Interesting. I wonder how God will decide who to pull for in C-2.Lincoln Christian
Kearney Catholic
Wahoo Neumann
David City Aquinas
Fremont Bergan
Grand Island Central Catholic
Hartington Cedar Catholic
Norfolk Catholic
Lincoln Lutheran
Hastings St. Cecilia
North Platte St. Pat’s
Could all be in one class next year.
Stuart needs to consolidate with Atkinson. 10 miles down the road.Stanton is now showing 8 man and Stuart 6 man.
Dundy County based in Benkelman has a population around 950.Kind of an odd question here. What is the smallest town that has an 11 man team and largest town that has an 8 man team excluding towns that have multiple schools ala Falls City SH or O'Neil St Marys. The two that came to mind for me are Crofton with 726 and Kimball with 2,496. Those are their 2010 census populations. Are there others?
What made me think about it is was my playing days. I'm an old timer but back then 8 man schools were always in towns the size of a few hundred and smaller. Many of the 11 man schools, mostly C2, I remember are 8 man and even 6 man now.
I’ve heard that Valentine might drop to C2 and be ineligible....anyone confirm or debunk?
