Madrid high school's Larry Vlasin was one 8-Man football's greatest players. Vlasin was a true natural at many sports other than football, including baseball, where he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics in 1965. A true Legend!

Three coaches, and eleven players have been named to the 2022 NEMFCA Eight-Man Football Hall of Fame. They will be inducted during ceremonies to be held Saturday, June 18th at The Tom Osborne Sports Complex in Hastings, Nebraska.

The hall of fame is presented by the Nebraska Eight-Man Football Coaches Association. Induction ceremonies will be held at halftime of the 45th annual Sertoma Eight-Man All-Star Game played at Hastings College. Kickoff for the game will be 6:00 p.m.
