The six-man division a year ago was dominated by a very talented senior class and as a result only two all-state players from 2016 are back in uniform this season and both are second team members. The large amount of talent lost to graduation likely leaves the division wide open entering the season openers later this month.
Below is a quick list and breakdown of the players in six man football that return after being named either first or second team all-state in 2016.
