(KLZA)-- During a special meeting of the Pawnee City School Board Tuesday night, the Board voted 5-1 to have the schools football team continue to compete in 6-Man football for the next two-year schedule cycle.

A motion to move to 8-Man football for the 2024-25 cycle failed with Board member J.W. Vlcek being the only board member to vote in favor of the move.

A second motion, to remain in 6-Man football for the next cycle passed on a 5-1 vote with board member Vlcek casting the nay vote.

By continuing the play in Class D6, the Pawnee City football team will not be eligible to participate in post-season games during the next two year cycle due to the number of boys enrolled in high school.
