Central Bucks West

Here I am.

They ran a multiple offense that involved shifting on pretty much every play. They ran a lot of I, Near, and Far. I saw them play many times in person and on television. Coach Pettine basically wore teams out by shifting all the time and running the ball down people's throats. They ran man-scheme blocking and their offense was featured with the fullback. Coach Pettine would be willing to throw the ball if teams locked up on them and jammed the box. Often, they would pound people and as the secondary started coming up, they would run a fly off a playaction pass for a touchdown. I hope this gives you some insight on what they did. If you need more, let me know.

Also, they ran a 5-2 on defense.

They did run a good number of QB keeps. It was always a keep, not a boot. I never, ever saw them run an option play. They ran the ball with the fullback leading on an iso, kickout, or toss, and then they would run counter trey away. They would run dive and trap to the fullback. I believe they ran the down play as well. The fullback was, without question, the key to their offense. The things you need to remember most is that they shifted almost every play, and they lead with the fullback almost exclusively. The execution of their shifts were fantastic. Coach I hope his helped.

They did run the belly actually. I would classify them as a power offense with a wing-t flavor. CB West used to run this one play with arc motion where they would throw the ball to the back who was running in arc motion. Every handoff that was executed happened so fast. The QB would get the snap and immediately hand the ball to the designated running back. There's got to be somewhere on the Internet where you can get game films of them. Good luck in your search.

Yeah that was part of it but they had a bunch of undefeated seasons since Pettine got there in the 1960's though and he ran the same offense for he entire tenure there from what i have seen....but from the research that i have gathered the biggest reason that they were so successful was the fact they were so comitted to the weightroom the kids were bigger faster and stronger then there opponents...I guess the ole saying rings true here its not X's and O's its Jimmy's and Joe's ....there Jimmy's and Joe's just worked harder...
