There is no place where profanity should be used. If a person never uses profanity then it will not "slip out". If a coach were to use profanity in the classroom, then he would be fired. The field or court is an extension of the classroom.

Based on the number of portable buildings there are at Gentry, I believe another middle school is needed based on number of students. There has been no true feeder system in Goose Creek since Sterling was built. However, both Lee and Sterling were both really good programs before Olin came to Lee. Coaches like Ron Kramer, Al Dennis, Dick Stafford, and Jim Stroud all had quality teams and programs.

The original concept of the spread offense was to "spread" the defense out and run the ball and use the passing game to compliment the running game. My son coaches at Frisco Liberty and they, as well as other teams that run the spread, will have backs with well over 1000 yards. In fact they have a back that has signed with Boise State (they run the spread very well). Offensive lineman are very good at zone blocking as well as pass protection. In my years as a defensive coordiator, it was difficult to defend a spread team because of the "space" that was created by the multiple spread formations. The flexbone is a variation of the wishbone with the multiple blocking schemes that go along with it. Back in the days when we were in 3A, Liberty was very good at running this offense. They were difficult to stop because they were well coached (Jeff Stewart - now at Dayton) and they had good players that really got after it. C.E. King has had success running what you call the flexbone. The offense uses the veer blocking scheme as well as the midline blocking scheme. The play-action is a very good weapon. Bottom line in football - coach what you know and tweak it to fit your players.

bh89-2 - Your comment about Coach Price is way out of line. I have reported it to the moderator and I hope that he not only removes the post, but blocks you from ever posting again. Coach Byrd

The statement concerning the assistant coaches at BH is false and way out of line. Coach Byrd

Never underestimate the wisdom  and the energy of an old coach. The blitz is still a good defensive strategy and I have been called "BLITZ" Byrd. What a great run we all had at Barbers Hill. We all had a great time day in and day out. You guys that have never coached high school kids - you are truely missing a blessing. The kids at Barbers Hill are great kids, hard workers, and they will get after you. Thanks to all you Barbers Hill guys, Coach Byrd

Lumberton is the home team.
