I think every remembers this saying, "It's Jimmy's and Joe's, not X's and O's." Balance is what everyone wants. Take what they give you and sometimes make them give you what you want. When it comes right down to it though most mountain teams just don't have the people year in and year out to have balanced offenses. It's a waste of time to do things offensively that you are not capable of and you end up making mistakes that turn a tight game into a blow out. Athletes, speed, and skill dictate what you do. That is why who ever said focus on defense is absolutely right. But your defense can still only be as good as the athletes you have. Coaches are working their buts off, but for some it is like a one legged man in a but kicking contest. So the better mountain teams will always be the ones who master their craft and play great defense.

A guy once told me that all offenses work, if they didn't then no one would be using it. It comes down to how well the offensive guys execute what the coach asks them to do.
