Anyone have info on what kind of system the new coach at Centennial will be installing? Offense, defense, whatever...

Coach Mat has his new team looking pretty sharp. He's running the spread offense, and brought in a pretty good OC in Tyler Burns to head that offense. The last I heard Chaz was moved to the reciever spot with Austin Bass taking the snaps. However, Chase Barlar has yet to join the team due to baseball, so it seems pretty likely that the QB spot will be his when he returns. Kelly was the main(only) recieving threat last year, but in the new system, it seems he would fit in a little better at the TE spot, which he played his freshman year. Scales and McLemore will head the recieving corps this year, and Tim Harris could also play in that spot at times this year.

 

Defensively, we still have some work to do. We lost the defensive Triple-H tandum of Hardison, Harris, and Hogan, who were the heart of that defense last year. We have two excellent young linebackers in Dickey and Sager(can also play on the line), who will likely be key contributors to that defense this year. In the secondary, Allante McLemore continues to be the cream of the crop. His 7 interceptions were tops on the team and he is looking even better this year. However, we need to work on our coverage. It was the big plays that killed us last year, so we need to patient and not try to jump plays too early.

Thanks for the info... I'm excited to see what they can do with a spread. Its been tried there before under Jean Rollins but was abandoned after a very unproductive year and a coaching change. I dont believe so much that you need a rocket armed D1 quarterback to run it well, but you do need a smart kid who can handle the system and read defenses. I suppose you could say that is true for any scheme, but this one is a little more complex than the Pro I. Also, getting the ball to your playmakers is obviously a key so my thinking is to aid that it'd be cool to see some rushing yardarge out of the WR's in an Urban Meyeresque design. Chaz's brother Marcelle was a threat to score every time he touched it...problem being everyone keyed on screens on him and jumped his routes and we had trouble getting him the ball until he moved back to tailback in ceartain situations. His 80 yard screen pass TD's lasted about two summer scrimmages until they were figured out. Also, an oline lacking in size (so I've heard of CHS) can be greatly helped out by pass sets instead of trying to root out kids that have 75 pounds on them. They have to be well coached technique machines, but a 185 pound gaurd with good feet, strong hips and a good understanding of hand placement can usually hold his own with most high school defensive tackles.

 

Most of all, the kids just have to believe in the scheme and submit to the coaches with everything they've got. Doesn't matter what you run, kids that lay it on the line and finish every snap tend to win more then they lose. They'll need strong leadership to dig them out of a rut of losing and the attitudes that go along with it. Unfortunately, the few quotes I read in the paper from players after the new hire did not lead me to believe the leadership was where it needed to be, but that can be altered. Best to the Cougars.

couple of things to fix here

The OC is Coach Burks not Burns

Chaz is still playing QB and both him and Bass are gettin snaps

Kelly isnt playing football and just focusing on basketball

and an add on to the list of linebackers should be Jordan Thompson who can hit harder than anyone i know

 

CHS plays Rossview today at 530 @ Centennial

I heard from one of my friends from CHS that they only have 22 players playing this year is this true

Good gosh....I hope this is not true. Twenty-two players for a 5A team?
