Come on now. What's some of your favorite trick plays. Every coach has some. My favorite trick play is the center sneak. Hardly ever ran anymore but is cool if you can pull it off.:popcorn:

Wrong ball coach!!!!
Center side snaps the ball to the QB with everybody down and the QB walks to the sideline holding the ball and yelling wrong ball... After he gets away from the defense he takes off....

Flea Flicker, Halfback pass, and reverse pass... All 3 are classics.

The 'Wrong Ball' play is legendary, I'd say too many people know about it now to pull it off though.
But the reverse pass was always a winner when i threw it. I have to give it a thumbs up as well.

I like to see a well executed fake punt or extra point/field goal every once in a while.

The center sneak is now illegal I believe.

The "Snake in the Grass" play is simply the reason why Prestonsburg beat Ashland in '04 or '03. You simply have a receiver look like he's on the sideline but he lines up and the defense doesn't know that he's there and the quarterback will throw it up with no one covering and you score.

Very unsportsmanlike play but **** it works!:)

You score............the name of the game. Tuff luck for the other team.
Since when did a fb player worry more about sportsmanship than a score?

There are rules about the huddle that prevent the snake in the grass play from being legal.

That's true. It's also why P-burg ran it out of a no-huddle offense.

The receiver was talking back and forth to the sideline, while he was -apparantly- moving off the field ("Don't make me come out, coach !"). But...he stays within the legal distance to the end of the offensive line (meaning this player was really nothing more than "in motion"), QB quicksnaps and hits the receiver on a go route.

There was NO substitute that came in between plays. The offense used the between plays confusion to make it appear that way, though.

When I was at Belfry in a game once at Pburg they ran a fake punt were the person catching it snuck on the field late, haha tricked the refs 2.

As for Belfry they run this one trick play. The quarterback takes the ball and throws it down the field to a wide receiver and they catch it an run. Its called a pass play, it tricks everybody.

Yeah it is a great shocker to everybody, except for Louisville Central haha. Anybody at the game remembers the pass before halftime that Central picked off and returned a touchdown. It didn't get them.
But in all seriousness I have never been a fan of the trick play. I mean once everynow and then I can see. But I was always taught to play disciplined assignment football. If you do that and read your blocker you will sniff the play out.
Defense is strictly about assignment and staying at home.

I have always been a fan of the HB pass.


BTW I scored a TD once on a center sneak my 8yr old year of JFL. It wasn't planned, the QB just took off without the ball, and I made a beeline for the endzone.
