Loved H story on Sportsmenship. My grandson is going to Kindergarten in Hulett, there around 12 kids in his class. The whole kindergarten to 12 grade is all in one building. They play 6-man football and still manage to have wrestling and basketball.
But wanted to tell about Cokeville (Yest the school that had the bomb go off years ago). They have won many class 1 State Championships in football, Wrestling and for many years in Volleyball. Class A is smallest classification in Wyoming. They do have one advantage, kids going to big schools in Utah and can't make the team, go live with Grandparents on the ranch and get a better education at a small Wyoming school. Now the volleyball girls there won state for years, to practice they have 6th-8th graders practice with them in order to even be able to have practice games. One year they got a invite to a summer tournament in Chicago. They actually held their own, when asked how many kids were in their HS, they say 50, to which the comeback was not class size your whole school. Lot of those city kids could not comprehend a HS that small.
 
I went to what was the biggest high school in Washington at that time. There was 673 kids in my graduating class. No freshmen in the school but still a little over 2,000 kids. Not a big city but close to a couple of them and the area was fast becoming a bedroom town for those cities.
My wife graduated from a tiny school in the middle of wheat and ranch country 30+ miles from the nearest grocery store there was 8 kids in her graduating class.
