8-Man Football Back in Michigan, But No State Championship in 2010

Mike McCabe of the Free Press is reporting in his blog today there will be 8-Man high school football in Michigan this season, but because not enough teams agreed to play an 8-Man schedule in 2010, there will not be a post-season.

According to McCabe, only 16 teams will play this fall.  The Michigan High School Athletic Association said it would have played a 16-team championship playoff tournament if 20 teams had committed for the upcoming season.
