Union Christian Academy Fort Smith 8 man team

[arksportsfan]

This could be the best team no one knows about!!! They switched to 8 man this year and only have about 15 kids on the roster but are loaded with talent and well coached! They lost their first game by a couple touchdowns to a Missouri team that had 60 kids but since then have blown out their first two conference opponents 49-0 then 50-0, at the half in both games. 8 man mercy rule just ends game when a team gets up 45. Union throws it all over the place with a great qb and 4 solid receiving options! A must see if you are close to Fort Smith! They play at Ramsey junior high field!

What does their schedule look like?

I know they play Gans Oklahoma at home this Friday. They are on the road the next week against a Tulsa team then back home on Sat the 24th for homecoming! I went to their first conference game at home and they are exciting!!! It is run and gun offense and the back Hammonds is unreal!!

Greenfield has 32 on their roster, not 60. 

[arksportsfan]

It was an exaggeration!!! The point being they had twice the number of kids! I'm just saying when they play they are fun to watch!

Another exciting game for the Eagles of Union Christian Academy! 48 to 6 win over public school Gans Oklahoma. They travel to Regent Prep in Tulsa next week! Hunter Hammonds the exciting back had 5 total touchdowns including a 99 yard kick off return!

UCA got tired of getting thrown around in the 4-2A, so they drop to eight man ball, I dont understand it.

This is kind of off topic...but are there/have there been any big time D1 players that played 8 man football instead of 11?

Someone may correct me on this, but I believe Marshall Faulk once played 8 man football and his style in the NFL I could see coming from the 8 man game. He was a RB that did it in the run and passing game better than anyone. He picked up guys blitzing very well too. I might be wrong on this though, but I think he came from an 8 man background.

Tom Rathman, u of Nebraska and a 49er. Real good fullback.

Nebraska used to recruit a lot of 8 man guys I believe. ...

Rashaan Salaam, the 1994 heisman winner, and Chad Greenway, current Vikings linebacker, both played 8 man ball
