It is what it is

Six-man football is a wonderful sport. It is an extremely wide open game. If you are reading this you are probably already a fan of the game.

If you are not a fan of Six-man, you probably don't understand that the six-man community is a huge family. That's right, a family and yes alot like mine and yours. We have our spats and disagreements from time to time but in the end we are still family.

Fans know these sites, Non fans or newbies might not so I list them from time to time and I highly encourage you to visit them. They are:

How About Those Mullin Bulldogs!!!!

A year ago, Mullin went 0-10 I believe. Enter Coach Benny Weaver. This season his squad of Bulldogs won 6 and lost 4. They came close to beating a very good Star team in district. Had they won that game they would have most likely been a playoff team. Anyway you slice it, that was a huge turnaround from last season. Congratulations to Coach Weaver and the Mullin Bulldogs.

New Blood Next Season?

What are the chances of seeing the same four teams that just played for the Division 1 and Division 2 Championships in the finals again next season? I would not say impossible. I suppose that whoever gets there is more than worthy. I have said it before and I will say it again, I like to see new blood.

Championship Weekend means Triumph and Tragedy

It happens every season. Two teams started out their season with lofty expectations of winning a championship. They reap a reward of advancing to the state playoffs by virtue of winning their district or finishing second place. It is a well deserved privilege to advance into a tournament that will pit the best of the best against each other until there are only two teams left vying to be Champions. Modern day gladiators, they are put on stage for the entire world to watch. On that fate filled day, one team will realize great triumph with a victory while tragedy falls upon the team that falls in defeat.

Many will read this and say the description is too harsh. Perhaps it is but I tell you the members that do not win on that day feel like they have been shot in the gut at close range. Yes, they should realize that it is a wonderful thing to have played at that level for truly it is. With time, they will hopefully realize, it was a significant accomplishment to just be in that venue.

December 13th, 2008 such a thing happened. The Borden County Coyotes defeated the Woodson Cowboys 54 to 8 in the Division 2 State Championship and a couple of hours later Strawn defeated Follett in the Division 1 State Championship. For Woodson, the loss was the second year in a row that they advanced to the finals and left without what they had come for. There are many teams that envy the Cowboys two straight appearances in the Championship game. The hurt remains. Follett closed a wonderful season with their first appearance in a Six-Man Championship. They had lost to Strawn 46-0 earlier in the year and were beaten this game 58 to 29. A much better showing but the hurt remains.

Borden County and Strawn with their victories were able to claim the prize and joy of being crowned State Champions. It happens every year that there are victors and those who fall in defeat. Next season will be no different. Prepare now.
