OHS and PHHS Begins 8-Man Football this Season
(Undated) – The Oblong Panthers and Palestine/Hutsonville Pioneers have both made the switch to “eight-man” football beginning this season and there are a few key differences. Eight-man football is played on a field that is narrower than the field for traditional eleven-man football. While the length remains the same as the traditional game, typically 100 yards, the width of an eight-man field is reduced from 53 yards to 40 yards. Each team also has three fewer players on the field for any given play. Eight-man football has gained some popularity in the area allowing some of the smaller schools with smaller enrollment to continue to field teams and remain competitive. Both OHS and PHS kick off the season this weekend with road games.
