When did teams start switching to black chinstraps. So far, I'd say about 75 percent of helmets have black chinstraps. Maybe I'm old school, but we only had white.

Eight schools in Iowa cancel their seasons due to low numbers, some are even 8-man teams: https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-high-school-football-schools-cancel-varsity-football-2026/73477096 The writing is indeed on the wall.

Well deserved.

This is just here in Indiana: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2026/08/20/impd-officer-suspended-over-flock-camera-misuse-what-we-know-indianapolis-alpr-misconduct-plate/91303397007/ While it is heartening to see more and more municipalities cancel their contracts with Flock or decline to use ALPR's altogether, the proverbial Pandora's box has already been opened. And no amount of "internal controls" by law enforcement agencies will close it. It will ultimately be like the fox guarding the hen house, and the public is the hens.

South Newton High School announces move to 8-man football the upcoming season: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/south-newton-set-play-8-160042214.html It's clear that traditional 11-man football is slowly dying in Indiana's rural areas, growth in that area is neutral at best. And frankly a watered down 8-man version of the sport isn't the long term answer. Co-ops are.

Two more have to go to my second home state of Wisconsin: the Clintonville Truckers and Manitowoc Ships

Interesting.

Maybe recreational youth and some high school, but competitive youth and high school flag and college flag are similar to tackle. Some of that is because you'll work more games in a day which is physically taxing. You may be on your feet 4-6 hours, and you have fewer officials covering the field. I've got Flag on Saturday, 4 games, 5+ hours, 3 officials, and the games are fast-paced.

@Fkfootball Do you know the answer to this question?

In case you don’t know it, and probably don’t, I was able to retire and travel across the fine land of ours. I came across many interesting high school nicknames from far and wide: River Forest (IN) Ingots, Bloom Township (IL) Blazing Trojans, Rhinelander (WI) Hodags, Kingsford (MI) Flivvers, Austin Westlake (TX) Chapparals, Aspen (CO) Skiers, and yes the San Dimas (CA) Dons. More importantly, I found some great golf courses…

Down to 13 guys, shocker. I remember when I first went out in 7th grade, we had well over 40 (for just one class). It looks like the Rebels will be traveling all over the state and I believe Schlarman Academy is in Danville, IL which is closer to Kentland than those far-flung locales of Greenwood, Indianapolis, Morristown, Waldron, and Wabash. Good luck, SN!
