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.

Is Wamego where the Amish Catholics live?

Is Wamego where the Amish Catholics live?

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.

Ok, yeah I remember you talking about that in another thread now.

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

I lost my virginity in Wamego to a gal named Annie. Will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Were you old enough to drive at that time?

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.

In '88 they 45 pointed us at half in sub-state.

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.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

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.
