Update: The East beat the West in a low-scoring 12-6 contest – unusual for 6-Man – in the fourth annual 6-Man All-Star game Saturday, June 3rd, in Newton. While this was the fourth 6-Man All-Star Classic, it was the first after 6-Man football was fully sanctioned as a KSHSAA athletic competition for the fall of 2022. The East got a touchdown pass from Tescott's Blake Green to Cunningham's Lane Halderson and a TD run from Jefferson Glover of Peabody-Burns. West's Will Ast, of Ingalls, rushed for the only score for his squad.
