My neighbor has a grandson on an 8 man team in Lafayette. Thats all I got. Said enrollment at that private school dictates that. I didn't know that was a thing in LA


It’s not part of LHSAA. It’s a separate organization that runs that. There’s also another 8 man organization with north Louisiana teams .

But yeah it’s definitely an enrollment thing for those schools vs participation levels

Idk how it works now a days but in rural arkansas we had less than 25 players on the football team my Junior and senior year. Everybody just played a lot.

we also only won 2 games in the 3 years I was there ?


I was on a team that made deep playoff runs each year I was in HS. I rarely got in the game. I would rather have been a starter on a losing team.

Ohio is a powerhouse in certain conferences and divisions, but some of the smaller schools lack participation


Ohio also isn’t a very urbanized state when you analyze its population distribution. Lots of small towns that lack a particular demographic often required to field good teams.
