what offense do the high schools in your area run?

The Woodlands Highschool, TX runs the spread. They generally do pretty well every year (top ten in state) They generally end up sending several kids to Texas Tech each year.

The new College Park High School that is opening in The Woodlands, Tx this year is going to run the wishbone option attack (at least for the first year) that could be interesting.

Evangel Christian in Shreveport runs the spread as well as Springdale High in Arkansas. Both these teams will compete for their respected state championships this year. I think they both play each other as well, what a game that will be.

For those that don't know, Springdale High is loaded this year. They might have as many as ten kids go D1. There are 5 kids that every college in the country wants.


I don't mimic the spread (The Woodlands High) at my level, I run the Single Wing. The kids will have to wait a couple of years before they start throwing the ball around if they play for me!!!!

Last year I saw one of the most potent offenses I've ever seen at the high school level. It was Byrnes High School in South Carolina. They ran the spread and passed, passed, and passed some more. In the state championship they obliterated their competition and brought in the second string. All they knew was wide open. It was like watching Urban Meyer's Utah offense at the high school level. The freaking second string was running the score up in the fourth quarter. I told my son, "That's all they know. It seems they were trying but they could not even stop the scoring. That was the 4A division though.

In the "Big 16"the champions are usually running the I formation with play action.

Our wonderful high school program will run a split back veer offense and a 4-2-5 defense this season. This will be the 4th straight year that they've ran a different offense and defense. This is a true story enjoy it: Two weeks ago I ran into the DC at the high school I asked what defense did you guys run last year. His response was I don't really know what it wa called. After a look of disbelief I said are you serious?? Anyway after 5 minutes of talking to him I finally think they ran a 4-4. I asked do you just run the 4-4 base all the time? He said why. I said because in the Wamego game you had 1 DB covering a trips left set. He said we run our base defense no matter what. I said I don't even left 1 DB cover 3 Wr's in youth ball. Then I asked do you guys go to any coaching clinics?? He said no they don't have time and all the coaches agreed that June and July was there so called off time. And starting on August 1st, 13 days before practice starts they'll start discussing football. Keep in mind we have a record of 6-39 the last 5 yrs. We are the biggest school in our league as well. I told him as a youth coach which is 6th grade( I basically look at it as the same as a jr. high program) that I'm looking at football stuff every single day. And I don't have summers off. Listen I know that i've moaned many times about this subject but then the thing that pissed me off more than anything was. He said you and your staff can come up on August 1st and learn some x's and o's if you like. I just said yeah ok and walked off.

I'm a defensive line coach. I wouldn't get mad at the DC. It seems his head coach should be the one to direct your frustration at. In my first year at the varsity level, I went to the Mega Clinic in Atlanta and heard some great speakers. In December, I went down with my head coach to Auburn University and attended practice. I email or call the D tackles coach there regularly. He sends me drill tapes every time they make a new one. Some I do on my own, but most I did with the HC. If the HC at your HS isn't making an effort to coach his coaches, then he is staring at the unemployment line.

I hope to work some summer camps next summer. I wanted to this year, but my HC took a DC job and I was interim HC until his replacement was hired. The HC was there for the last week of drills. What kind of kids do you have at this HS? What kind of facilities? Let me know when they start looking to replace him. We run the 4-3 on defense and will be running the wishbone on offense this fall. The wishbone fits our offense skilll guys better (we have none).

Personally, I like a two back and one back offense. I also like the bone.

I attended the Atlanta Mega Clinic. I attended the presentations of Coach Paul Connor, Bill Zwaan, Bruce Cobleigh, and just for kicks I also sat in on a session presented by Mike Emendorfer .
