We have 6 classes including a separate 8 man class.
But don't you only have about 20 teams playing 8-man? I thought I had read that 8-man never caught on over there like it did in Kansas. We have two divisions of 8-man with over 90 teams total. In many places in the more rural areas, schools have combined to have enough players even for 8-man. In fact this past season was the last for one school which had won the state championship last year and the year before was runner-up.
It is so hugely popular that there are four whole teams that made the playoffs (tongue firmly in cheek). Should be interesting to see what happens here. I am fairly confident that I know the 6A and 5A champs, should be interesting from there down. Playoffs start in two days!
So how many 8-man teams are there in Missouri? It is a different game to call so I would guess they would get officials who have worked 8-man for the playoff games. There probably aren't that many crews who are working the games.
