Blackman Defense

[rot]

Who are the big hitters on defense at Blackman in 2003? Also I think Coach Alsup is one of the best football minds in high school sports today. He is a winner...

Although I cannot comment on who the hard hitters will be for the upcoming season, I will agree with you when I say that Alsup is one of the great football minds there are. His tactics, while usually simple beyond belief, work, and work excellently. Those tactics being to simply run it down their throat and kill them with a deep pass or a screen for a big gain. On defense he is also effective, blitzing irradically to keep the offense on thier toes.

 

While I have to say I do not always agree with his particular game plan for some teams, last year it was Lebanon and Riverdale, I do have to agree with his general attitude. That being that you win the game by having a strong defensive and an even better running game. Coach Alsup can win with any team he has, no matter whether or not it's a "rebuilding year."

 

That's why he is one of the best.
