SAN FRANCISCO – Convent and Stuart Hall High School in San Francisco will be transitioning from 8-man to 11-man football for the first time in their program history.
Here’s a breakdown of what exactly 8-man football is:
“If you picture 11 on the field, just remove the offensive tackles on either end and then remove a slot receiver and then, on defense, for us, it’s going to be defensive linemen, a linebacker and a DB and you just remove them off the field, but actually, structurally, it’s actually similar” Said Greg Mangan.
Mangan is the Convent and Stuart Hall Knights’ new head football coach after spending 9 years with Stanford as a graduate assistant, and most recently he taught and coached at St. Ignatius.
He’s taking over a program that’s had success in 8-man football with 6 league championships and 4 North Coast Section runner-up finishes since 2010.
Coach Mangan believes it was time to test their dominance in a more traditional style of football.
“Just being around our athletes and coaching staff, I think we just wanted a challenge, and I think that’s what drew me to it because everyone from our school president at Convent and Stuart Hall High school was excited about playing 11-man and just seeing if we can push ourselves to be better” said Mangan.
