VIDEO: Six man football FAIL
When you’re a small high school in Texas, it’s hard to compete against the big boys in football. Fielding 11 men on each side of the ball isn’t a problem for schools in Dallas and Houston–but deeper into the rural areas it sure can be. That’s why there are over 150 schools in the Lone Star state that play six man football. If you aren’t familiar with it, well, don’t use this clip to judge it. Because this is arguably the worst field goal attempt you’ll see regardless of how many men there are on the field.
First of all, that kick hit one of the blockers in the knee. We can understand an outstretched hand from a defender, maybe even the helmet of one of your blockers. But the knee? If anything, that kick got approximately 18 inches off the ground. I’m guessing he’s not of those soccer players the coach brought in to just kick field goals.
As for the defensive team, I’ll claim ignorance as to what they’re doing. One young lad appears to be standing underneath the goal post as if he’s going to catch the field goal landing short. Because as we all know, 20 yard field goals often fall short of the target.
