Holley’s football team is preparing for their first season of playing eight-man football. Due to declining numbers of students trying out for football, the Holley Central School District made the decision this spring to transition from the traditional 11-man team to eight-man football this fall.
Holley is one of many small schools across the state that is switching to a new format for football. “I feel Holley is a perfect fit for eight-man football,” said Holley Central School District Athletic Director Dan Courtney. “The number of players on the field will not change the experience or growth that we strive to see in our student-athletes.”
The Hawks home opener will be September 15 at 1:30 p.m. against Marcus Whitman.
