Physicality or speed

[kypride]

Which is more important to win a championship in KY hs football?

[Legacy12]

I think you have to have a little of both. You can be a physical team but your speed has to be in at least ball park of an opponent or vice versa, can be extremely fast but if you won't block or tackle anybody it probably won't matter much.

[Jumper_Dad]

You can win if you have Dominant Speed or Physicality, short of having that I think Speed is more of an equalizer. Speed can make up for a lot more deficiencies than being strong can. Strength doesn't matter if you can't catch the fast guys.

[TheDeuce]

Speed kills.

[Rambo4343]

Depends on what the weakness of the team your playing. If they have the Speed and "toughness" then your screwed unless you find a weakness of theirs. They have those attributes, but may not be in shape or very smart football players.

I always chuckled when big ol' smash mouth programs (Ryle in the 2006 state championship game jumps to mind) predicted that they would show that finesse Trinity team what real football was. I think what they and most people now realize is that successful programs have both. Trinity has and does rely on outstanding "skill" players and arguably Trinity's best team, the 2011 "national championship" team had them in abundance but what made that team special was an outstanding O-Line that imposed their will on people.

Big strong guy cant catch little skinny fast kid. Cant tackle what you cant catch.

[footstomp]

Can't beat what you can't catch.

[UK#1fanisback]

You can have both but if poorly coached you won't beat anybody.

[Purple Nation]

You can't beat speed at any level, especially High school.

[Juke]

Discipline and specifically assignment discipline can beat speed when the speed team is undisciplined.

[bruin66]

I have seen very few championship teams that do not have at least some of both, combined with good coaching and discipline.

I had never seen a KY O-Line push around the big boys from Ohio like that group did.

I was lucky enough to be on the sideline for the 2011 championship game. Scott County took the opening kickoff and ran thei wing-t to perfection and scored in like 3 plays. Trinity's QB walked up to his line as they took the field and said it's out turn. Game over.

Speed you either have it or your chasing it!!!
