You can walk the long way, or you can walk the steps. As media, I could park up by the east endzone. But, for the final game, I was walking those steps one last time. Myles? Last Coin Flip on the Mountain? We got a comedian for this one. If there has to be a […]

Wolverine Mountain, A Sheffield legacy
October 10, 2024 | Sykotyk
Eleven years ago, it was just a game. One of many for me. But as I drove up to Sheffield, Pennsylvania. I knew it was something special. The small town along the Route 6 corridor was different. Their school was different. And so was where they played. Wolverine Mountain It didn’t always have that name. […]

Once again, I found myself in Central Montana for another weekend of high school football. As with last week, I was once again attending a Grass Range/Winnett game.

September 30, 2024 | Sykotyk
Another weekend of small ball in Central Montana. Given the vast distances between towns, it’s not surprising how small and infrequent some football-playing schools can be from one another. Or, when more than one school has to come together to form a co-op team. Hobson and Moore sit along Montana State Route 200, about 9 […]

September 23, 2024 | Sykotyk
In Central Montana, six-man football is a way of life. The small towns, small populations, and expansive terrain leaves very little chance for small towns to field rosters large enough to compete at 11-man, let alone even 8-man at times. 89 miles separates Harlowton and Grass Range. Between them sits just two football teams. Hobson/Moore, […]

September 15, 2024 | Sykotyk
Around western Nebraska, 11-man football is few and far between. With so many small towns, 8-man and the growing 6-man game are becoming much more common.
