Referred to as boom town because of the massive 4th of July firework show.
I personally would lean more into Oz but that's just me
Personally I would like them to blow up Walter Chryslers childhood home during a firework show. But that's just me.

You might be thinking of St Mary's. There is a breakaway Catholic sect in that area that doesn't believe Pope Francis is the real pope and does a lot of home births and such.

Wamego is mostly Baptists and an East Manhattan micro-suburb.

I like the coffee place (Paramour Coffee) and the Friendship House restaurant. Pretty nice small town.

What's the best 8-Man team you guys have ever seen? I'm going with the 1997 Sylvan Grove Mustangs or the 1985 Midway-Denton Eagles.

Those Sylvan teams were unreal. LickNecky and I Played baseball w/ a couple of their guys.

Holy crap, @nicname, I found this YouTube account that posts vintage 8-man footage. Here is Sylvan eviscerating Quivira Heights (which has since been folded into Claflin / Central Plains). Absolutely loved the chowder blue Q-H uniforms back in the day. I think Q-H lost 3 games this (1997) season - to 8-man I champion Centre, to 8-man II champion Sylvan and to 8-man I runner-up Little River.

Denton-Midway of the 1980s was the best 8 man football program anywhere.

State champs in '81, '82, '84, '85, '86, '87 and '88.

Todd Caudle was their QB for four of those seasons. Would go on to play at KU. When I was in kindergarten, our high school played them up there in the sub-state round and got eliminated. Our bank had organized a bus trip to the game and I remember the bus stopping at a diner that had a marlin on the wall and I remember the man who owned the gas station stomping on the bleachers during the game. I was small enough that I don't remember much else about that game.

That's 8-man for you.
I just learned that Midway and Highland combined to form a new entity known as "Doniphan West" in 2004.

This is a pretty interesting site to explore. Has year-by-year records for most teams.

I remember hearing about Midway-Denton growing up.

That youtube page is interesting and I have so many questions.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Okay. This is the coolest footage I've found on the channel so far. 1985 D1 championship game being played on the frozen tundra of Lewis Field in Hays.

Imagine you're an adolescent in the late 90's and you are super pumped to get the ESPN magazine CFB preview edition to see where the Katz are ranked. You get to a part called "7 wonders of CFB" and see your relative standing in the middle of a soybean field.

Set the record for most Punt return tds in a season (4) and in a game (2) then tore his ACL his senior year and was never the same.

He did win a OG XFL championship and married a Brazilian model after he moved to southern California so he is doing alright.
