Best High School Offense

[catback]

I think if you ask most coaches at some of the most successful programs, to a man, they'll tell you that you can be successful during the regular season if you have a GOOD running game, but, once the playoffs start, you have to be able to throw the football, not only to move the ball, but to keep a good defense honest, so you can set up the run. Sounds simple, but alot of good teams make the playoffs, only to be eliminated because there passing game is only so-so, you usally face alot tougher defense in the latter rounds of the playoffs.

you set your offense to accomodate the athletes you have on your team. if you have a great back and some decent wide-outs and an average qb, i'd take the I over the shotgun any day. if you've got a wealth of talent at wr and a decent/good qb, run the shotgun. however, a lot of teams get in trouble because they run a set that does not highlight their stars.

i think any formation works good in high school as long as you dont throw the football more than 10 times a game.

I like the maryland I, and the wing-t myself

Wing -T teams are fun to watch when they bravely send out one receiver and hope the QB connects on a pass. Those deadly one-receiver sets just screw up most defensive coaches. Also, since they don't get to practice against passing attacks, the DB's on a wing-T team end up getting eaten alive by passing teams.

 

However, strictly passing teams are fun to watch if they have the ball inside the 10 and try to figure out how to run block. They'll take a 10 yard penalty just to give themselves room to maneuver.

That's a great comment.

catholic and webb both run modified versions of the wingT and i think they are two of the best teams in knoxville

 

Hillsboro runs wingT also...I believe they have a gold ball or two. Cleveland ran WingT under Coach Monroe...more gold balls. Just goes to show ya that if you have talent and discipline any O is a good O.

I'd put Huntingdon right there with anybody in the wing t. They adjust their players to the offense.

It doesn't matter what offense you run. The key to the whole thing is the offensive line. We all saw what happened to Peyton Manning his first couple of years in the NFL. No line equals no wins. I know this is talking about high school, but the same principal hold true. The line is what makes or breaks a team.

I run the wing-t because it fits my personel. The key to an effective offense is finding one that you can staff on a yearly basis. If you are always going to have big dominating offensive linemen, you should line up in a power I and beat people to death. If you have mor finess linemen and lots of athletes a spread would be better. The key is finding that fit. What offense you run becomes unimportant as long as you do what you do better than they do what they do.

IMO the wing-t is great for small school football but ask yourself how many 5A or D23A schools have won state championships running the wing-t.

hello wilson central runs the wing-t and the only game they have lost this year is to riverdale

go to georgia and count the number who've won the state running the wingt at all levels then check back with me.
