limited rosters to have to
play down or throw out
unprepared freshmen in
order to meet the stan-
dards of six-man or
nine-man football.
Dixon said that roughly
one-third of Powder Val-
ley’s 90 students are listed
on the football team’s
roster, which would elim-
inate any need for the
school to play six-man
football.
The original proposal
from Dec. 20 slated the
Badgers to be moved down
from eight-man to six-man
competition.
“I would hate to think
that a school with 90 stu-
dents in their student body
and 25 players on their
roster would be forced to
play some of these schools
that have 25 or 30 kids in
the high school and 12 kids
on the roster that still want
to play eight-man foot-
ball,” Dixon said at the
meeting.
Adrian High School,
Powder Valley’s 1A state
championship counter-
part this past season, also
voiced displeasure over
doing away with eight-man
football.
“Eight-man is the
greatest form of football
in my opinion, and it is
one of the fastest growing
forms of football,” Adrian
head coach Billy Wortman
said at the meeting.
According to the update
from the OSAA, schools
will have an option to play
nine-man “when necessary
and appropriate.”
Six-man football will
continue to be off ered by
the OSAA for smaller 1A
schools, and the OSAA is
considering sanctioning
the sport, meaning schools
at that level would have the
ability to play for an offi -
cial state championship.
Six-man has been a
pilot program the last four
years, and participating
teams had played for a
de-facto title.
The current proposal
would align Union County
1A schools in a similar
district to the existing
leagues, continuing to play
eight-man football. Powder
Valley, Cove, Elgin, Imbler
and Union would compete
in the 1A Special District
3, alongside Adrian, Crane
and Wallowa.
Enterprise, under the
current proposal, is listed
as part of the 2A ranks,
and would be one of six
teams in Special District
5, alongside Grant Union,
Heppner, Irrigon, Stanfi eld
and Weston-McEwen. The
Outlaws had played down
to eight-man the previous
four years.
The OSAA plans to
keep play-down options in
place for schools that have
struggled at their slotted
classifi cations, but is con-
sidering adding criteria
that schools who play down
would be ineligible for the
postseason.
Joseph would remain at
the six-man ranks as part
of Special District 1. The
rest of the district includes
Dayville/Monument, Echo,
Huntington, Wheeler
County, Pine Eagle, Prairie
City/Burnt River, and
South Wasco County.
On Dec. 20, the ad hoc
committee made a recom-
mendation of a new 2A
and 1A hybrid classifi ca-
tion, combining Oregon’s
2A and 1A schools into
three groups: a nine-man
football Division 1 classi-
fi cation mostly made of 2A
teams, a nine-man football
Division 2 classifi cation
made of smaller 2A teams
and bigger 1A teams, and
a six-man football classi-
fi cation for the smaller 1A
programs.
The next meeting of the
football ad hoc committee
will be on Jan. 19.
