    Tater Island MASSIVE scoop

    The key I found was to find the right age group. I really struggled with the 1st, 2nd graders because too many of them had ants in their pants and couldn't listen or sit still. That was very frustrating for me and I had a tendency to focus only on the kids that would listen which isn't ideal...

    NSAA votes for 3rd 8-Man Class

    There's a school we tried to coop with (that we have a good relationship with) and they said absolutely not. They would rather drop to 6 man than coop with another school. I think it's the fear of losing their identity or something, but it is going to happen more and more in the future.

    NSAA votes for 3rd 8-Man Class

    There is still a big issue with private schools vs public schools (and I don't want to turn this into a big debate), but when you can control your enrollment numbers, and just as importantly WHO you allow in your school, you are at a huge advantage.

    It isn't that easy though, especially with the bus driver shortages. Right after school is when they do all the bus routes and if you don't have extra busses or extra drivers just to take an extra bus to a football practice, what do you do? Do you make the other school wait an hour or two so...

    Absolutely! And there has been talk of that. I think South Dakota has teams that do that. And I believe some of them may flip back and forth between 9 & 8 man if they go play a Nebraska school.

    That doesn't work real well when many of the schools are 20+ miles apart from each other. It is a logistical nightmare trying to do practices etc. And even if you do have a school close to you, it doesn't mean they WANT to join you either. I hope they make a class for schools that opt down...

    Hopefully it is for schools that opt down and make them playoff eligible??

    Except ESPN will go out of their way to push women's basketball and all kinds of other crap that they could at least show a highlight of the game.
