Dansville debuts in 8-player football with victory over Fulton
Summary

The Dansville Aggies transitioned to 8-player football this season, marking the change with a 48-6 win over Fulton last Thursday. The victory represents the program's largest margin since 2019 following a three-season stretch where the team secured only one win. Quarterback Mayson Burgett led the effort by accounting for six total touchdowns, including three passing, two rushing, and an interception return. Head coach Jeffery Hancock noted the win helped address initial skepticism regarding the switch to the 8-player format. The program previously struggled with low participation numbers, which prompted the offseason move. Dansville next hosts St. Joseph Our Lady of the Lake Catholic on Thursday at 7 p.m.
