How good would a one-school Mansfield football team be?
Recently, we stepped into our imagination and pondered what it would be like if Mansfield was a one-school town — with one high school football team.
Thanks to popular demand, we’re again using our imagination to see just what such a team might look like. You asked for it, so we thought it over… thought some more. And then thought some more.
As you can imagine, it wasn’t easy coming up with the final choices. Suffice to say, there would be plenty of depth at most positions — including coaching.
“The downside would be, if you took away any of the schools you would lose some really good football coaches,” Summit coach Channon Hall joked.
So, put your coaching hat on for a moment. How difficult would it be to choose a starting roster from all the talent in Mansfield? Here’s one we put together — how much would yours differ?
