This football season, we’re beefing up our Class 1A coverage to keep fans as up to date as possible on the six-man game and the now more than 50 teams we cover that play it.

A big part of that coverage will be our new Six-Man/Class 1A Central page, which will feature a weekly schedule, scores and updated standings for each of the 14 districts that contain Big Country Preps schools. But fans can also look forward to pair of weekly columns — a “Six-Man Lookahead” to preview each week’s slate of games on Thursdays and a “Six-Man Rewind” to recap the weekend’s biggest developments each Monday.

With a full weekend of interesting games to talk about, it’s time to preview Week 1. Let’s jump in, shall we?
