They've led the state (Entire State) in rushing for 4 years in a row including that 11-2 season in 08, however since those players on that 08 team graduated Estill hasn't had the players to run the double wing like they use to. Estill doesn't use a face pace offense in any sport, basketball is slow pace, football the double wing is used to wear down defense, don't say it doesn't work because it does, look at the high schools in California that use it, they have State Championships, granted they use more of that offense then what Estill did. Baseball and Softball are small ball.
What are you disagreeing about? The offense that Estill runs is antiquated. In other words, it sucks. You are flat out wrong about Estill leading the state in rushing yards for 4 straight years. Here is the link from last season: http://www.khsaa.org/football/2011/stats.htm Estill is clearly 5th. Here is the link for 2010, again Estill is clearly 5th: http://www.khsaa.org/football/2010/stats.htm. Here is the link from 2009, Estill is clearly 11th: http://www.khsaa.org/football/2009/stats.htm
Estill is 14-19 the last 3 years. They aren't wearing down anyone. Any offense works if you have the horses to run it, Estill, does not. You have to be may better athletically to run a pure power offense like the double wing. Estill does not have the athletes to do it. If Jones continues to try it he will be ex-coach Jones. The best schools in California the last few years ran a west coast style offense with Will Smith, Wayne Gretzky and Joe Montana's kids. Maybe a Class A team won with that offense but Estill doesn't have the athletes to run it.
Their basketball teams are 33-57 the last 3 seasons , how is that slow down offense working for them?
I wish Coach Jones was as confident in his offense as you are. Then maybe he would have returned Coach Lucas calls about continuing the Somerset/Estill series last season. Instead he didn't want to talk about it. I guess getting outscored 131-37 over 3 games will do that. I'm not sure how that happened with that explosive Engineer offense.
