Since arriving with "archaic" offense Coach Mattingly has won 2 Region titles and appeared in 4 Region titles and won at least 6 or 7 district championships. Before his arrival they had never won a Region ever! So I would say that's pretty impressive with a so called old school offense. Central doesn't have 4.4 speed kids. Coach Mattingly has built a program on toughness and defense and I'd say that's tailoring your team to its strength and personnel.

It's not about the adults and coaches. Ask any high school football player in the state what their ultimate goal is and they would say that it is to win a state championship. Then why do the adults hamstring the program with an "archaic" offense that gives you virtually no chance of winning a state title in 6A. Again, all 6 teams last year that won state titles had one thing in common, a balanced offense. That is why you develop and attract players that fit into that kind of system. It's not about winning your District or Region, trust me.
