Know a team that went 11-2 overall and 6-0 in conference play running this 80ās offense last year.
East Duplin, WRH, Tarboro, South Point, Hibriten, New Bern have all won Championships in the past 10 years running either a version of the wing t or flex bone.
Watauga ran a combination of flex bone, wing t and spread last year.
It is the great equalizer, and it wins. I just think it will be harder and harder to run and keep kids in this day and age. Different day today than the last 10 years whether us old guys like it or not.
It is. If you go to the spread and keep the zone read, speed option type stuff your basically still running the same offense its just spread out and easier to throw out of. Ive seen some horrible looking spread teams that would have been better off running an "80s" offense.
You are 100% right. I mean you saw our offense last year and there was a lot of zone reads out of the spread. We have a ton of talent in the WR/TE department and we are still run first.
@amaidendevil how are the numbers on the first day for the underdog Devils?
I'll get info in a little bit lol. Could be some additions maybe
And all these teams running gh counter, thats a wing t concept.
I definitely think variations of it are great in every offense. However if you run a wish bone, red bone, or whatever you want to call it, it is getting harder and harder to get all the kids to buy into it with how easy it is to bolt to another program and not get ostracized like a kid used to.
One of the dumbest things coaches do.Should be about time for 100 yard gassers
āImagine going to HS game in the 80s/90s just to watch both teams do this all gameā¦ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāā-
You still would have liked it.
Can recall games as far back as the very early part of the 1960ās. Lots of teams used a T backfield, then sometime later an āIā formation. They would try to punch a hole in the other teamsā line and run through it, but it was still exciting.
Around 1977 Coach Harris at Lincolnton begin using a veer type of an offense which I believe he picked up from Wake Forest. He used both a split backfield, where the halfbacks were behind the guards, and the āIā; Then, I thought that was taking a big chance, but by todayās standards it would look pretty conservative.
Seems like passing began to increase in the late 60ās or early 70āsā¦The first run-and-shoot type of an offense I saw was used by Cummings High out of Burlington in the 1988 state championship game against Shelby.

Mike Leach said his air raid was just a different version of option football 
Lincolnton began to model the Cummings offense around the time Moody was the quarterback. He had the arm and athletes to run it. Lincolnton and Foard were two of the local teams at that time that aired it out. Lincolnton was more of a balance mix and usually had a core group of leaders for receiving yards and touchdown receptions in the local papers. Clonninger was not afraid to experiment.āImagine going to HS game in the 80s/90s just to watch both teams do this all gameā¦ā

We did them too but its still dumb. Just like coaches junk a 1980s offense they might want to junk trash conditioning.
I don't really think it's as much about conditioning as it's about weeding out the quitters. And creating mental toughness
AMD, gotta give you credit there, my friend. I met Coach Brown one time. had dinner with him and other guests at a restaurant. To me, it was obvious that he is a nice person, but it was also obvious that heās quite tough, same as you.
If he were here right now, I donāt think there is any way anybody or research could convince him that hard running is not part of conditioning for athletes.

It was always conditioning for us. We ran even more if we won, called them victory strides. The thought process was that we would be playing deep in playoffs and the other team would be tired before us.AMD, gotta give you credit there, my friend.

Have heard different opinions but I donāt know the answer. Now, for safety reasons, a trainer has to be on the field to determine a heat index.
Couple of weeks ago I went over to the stadium one morning and sure enough there was a lady there. I asked her if she had an apparatus to check humidity. She said they did the wet and dry bulb tests, which is the old-fashioned way, and it definitely works.
She had something else set up over there too, It looked like kind of a flat rectangular orange box. I wondered if that had something to do with, it probably does. The wet and dry bulb thing is a few hundred years old. This day and time of laser lights and computers, there must be something now thatās another way of measuring it.
