| No players, no problem. One Minnesota high school keeps winning football games anyway
Pretty good story, even for Reilly. Quote:
If what's happening to the McLeod West (Minn.) High football team right now sounds like a movie, it's only because it should be one.
Some teams in McLeod's division have as many as 60 players on their rosters. McLeod has 19. And three of those are ninth graders who weigh 110 pounds, including helmet.
Most teams kick PATs. McLeod always goes for two. Not because it wants to. The team doesn't have a kicker.
Most teams run players on and off the field—offense, defense and special teams. McLeod only runs one guy in and out—that's because the 10 other guys never leave the field. They play offense, defense and special teams.
