Wow! Barbers Hill lost 54-0 and according to some showed no respect for the fallen WOS QB. I think Coach Gage has two things working against him. Barbers Hill stayed with the previous coach too long. The manner in which the boys were alienated by being placed on either offense or defense in jr high and never allowed to compete for the position they wanted to play. Thus a mass exodus of talent from the program until his last season and barely more than 30 thirty players on Varsity for 4A football program. 2A programs have more players than that on Varsity. Secondly, BH is not equipped to run the flexbone. Although I dont believe the offense gave up 54 points. You have to recognize what abilities your players have and design an offense around them, not put the players into an offense that clearly doesnt compliment them. A pro style passing with off tackle runs would best suit them. Unfortunately for some, we will have to wait a couple of years until the jr high comes up into High School to see the number of kids and talent level that we have become accustom to see if Gage can be successful.
