I spoke to an acquaintance who works for MHSAA after Holland HS made their announcement who told me he’s hearing from AD’s who are interested in expanding the pool to be eligible to field 8 Man Football because their schools are seeing football participant numbers dropping.

MHSAA is wrestling with further expansion of the 8 Man game because they foresee some schools more interested in state championships than having a .500 11 man team. However they are aware that a small percentage of HS players go on to play any level of college football and players with hopes of playing beyond HS will transfer to schools still playing traditional 11 man football.

PS
MHSAA is very aware of boys soccer’s effect on football from soccer’s rising participation levels and its lower costs. The rub is a lot of school’s main athletic fundraiser’s are football ticket and concession sales.

They have already allowed to many schools to go 8 man. It should be for enrollments 175 and below only.

And teams have already joined for winning not numbers

they should be joining to protect the long term health of their students.

yikes.

in a related story, after having read back through this thread, Okemos did win a game two Fridays ago (believe it was two Fridays ago) - if I heard correctly, it was their first win since 2019?

I didn’t know Connor Stalions was coaching Alpena, too.

East Lansing vs Dewitt tonight. It’s the Bob bowl. Will the metropolitan urban city dwellers of East Lansing win or the will the rural hicks of Dewitt and their up north school prevail?

by **Turtleneck** 27/09/24, 01:18 pm

Dewitt is not up north, GreenWay.

gonna be a good one. I guess the QB from Dewitt is pretty good, esp. on the ground. Ran for 277 yards and 5 TD's last week, I think. East Lansing is athletic as hell but Clarizio (MSU commit) is banged up some. I believe it's at Dewitt or else I'd probably walk over. Not sure I feel like driving to the greater Dewitt area. I get confused up there.
