I know the focus is on the bottom WR but when looking at the top it gets a little messy too. The H back on the top is in no man’s land. In HS they are probably going to rule that player covered up or flag him for not clearly being on or off the LOS.

The other rule in the NFL is that the EMLOS cannot have an ineligible number (unless he reports). There was some loop hole a few years back I think the patriots used or maybe the ravens which were strange eligibility niche cases.

The NFL is a different animal due to their rules. They have pretty much given up who is on and who is off the LOS past a few cases. In HS (who play by Fed rules) I would vote correct in the poll. To be eligible in HS you must have both a legal number and either be off the LOS or the EMLOS. To be on the LOS part of your body has to break the hip of the center. Now there is a rule that you rarely see enforced that a player off the LOS can not be breaking the hip of those on the LOS. A player taking a direct snap from the center is exempt from the rule. What that boils down to is a player off the LOS should have enough depth to clearly define home into the backfield.

I dug a little on Twitter and Facebook. There are some strange things out. Past a poorly filmed video everything is pretty much hearsay.

I’m going to have to contact home to find out what happened.

The hard part of 1A and 6A is it depends so much on other schools. If a school jumps or drops in enrollment it can mess everything else up. The other 4 classes are just divided.

What were Q’s stats?

It’s not a 43. It might be semantics but it’s a 425 with 33 being their “Dog” or nickel.

Great post and from looking at similar film that’s what I see. Moving Alexander to an interior DL is something Cooper has done throughout the year. Having him standup I think is a new wrinkle they added this year to be able to drop him into coverage into the boundary. I would guess they came to conclusion that rushing him was more beneficial as the season went on. Cooper has been running the same defense for years past a few adjustments. The front in is typically divorced from the backend. I don’t know if they still are but they used to be very TCU/Patterson in what they do. The backend I’m sure didn’t change much between the two games if it changed at all. Typical split field coverage. In past years you saw them work more out of a nickel grouping. From watching the game they appeared to just do a much better job fighting the down blocks, squeezing and playing off the puller.

Housing is cheap there. You can get much more house for the same money further north

Football has changed in the state. If you want to be able to compete at all a school district has to be willing to do certain things. The truth is a lot of districts aren’t willing to do those things.

What defensive adjustments did they make to their 425?

Are you saying whoever finishes first in that district won’t be in the conversation to win a state title?

Lonaker is a dude. He is the epitome of a great HS player. He won’t go to the NFL. He won’t go power 5. He won’t go D1. He’ll play smaller college ball. On the HS level he is a dude. His accomplishments are more about attitude and effort and I don’t mean that as a knock in anyway. He is the reason I love HS football. You can have kids that don’t necessarily have the measurables but play with great effort and attitude and it makes a big difference.

Highlands staple run this year was GH counter. Cooper did a very good job limiting it in this game. Highlands QB and RB are very good at letting that scheme develop and finding the crease. Highlands had a hat for a hat in the run game. They adjusted by running a little iso which worked well and by going TE with a H which is when they got the run game going again. I’m not sure how much Cooper actually adjusted as much as they fit counter much better this time. Highlands also found success later on by going to their quick screens. Highlands this season ran almost no quick game. It handled that with GH screen and fast screens. They were going to pound you and take some shots. Cooper plays a 425 a majority of the time with the nickle to the field. With Alexander at the DE spot they’ll play a little 3 man front at times dropping him into the boundary. Alexander played a much better game in defense this time. 66 is one heck of a HS LB. Just an old school snot knocking kid. Unless you’re a base 3 man front like a 33/35/34 there is no reason to ever play Highlands this year in a 3 man front unless maybe it’s a 3rd and a mile.

Who was the last team to do that?

Sophomore year lost to ST X in the finals. 93 (JR year) lost to Male in the semifinals. 94 lost to Trinity in the finals.

What’s the difference between a blow horn and an air horn?

I didn’t do the stats. I just looked at the performance from the one player and total rushing.

The so what is seeing how impressive the performance was by the kid. It shows how he was able to take over a game.

That is crazy when you look at those stats. The rest of Boyle had 22 rushing attempts (unless some were sacks) for 23 yards. That is some tough sledding for the rest of run game.

Is that how the rule reads? I’m not questioning but really trying to make sure I understand how it reads. I ask because of how they changed the play clock a few years back to pretty much match college. For people not familiar with it the play clock now starts pretty much as soon as the previous play is blown dead and not in the “ready” like in the past. If you can’t do it during the play clock then that really narrows down when you can do it to basically dead ball situations like time outs, penalties, change of quarter type things.

It wasn’t a delay of game. It was a false start due to movement from HHS defense followed by another false start due to an air horn. I was still on that end of the field when it happened.

I don’t know if they get their face beat in. Last year they almost beat Dixie according to the KHSAA website.

It’s the the triple option. It’s the wing-t. It does sound like they are doing a good job which is difficult to do.
