[30 going on 40]

I had forgot about my question i had posted on the prediction thread about the cincy teams and nky teams.
Thanks to all of those who answered that for me.

I also seen a post in the prediction thread that stated Colerain ran the option.
Do they? Is it very effective?
My favorite offense has always been the option type offense that you rarely see anymore. IMHO, it can be the most effective high school offense out there because a lot of kids simply cant read the offense and its easy to bust open fullback dives and always gives you a chance out.

IMO, the biggest way an option offense can be stopped, and IMO the only way if ran effectively, is that the defense has to be faster. We ran the option to a T back in 09 and mowed through opponents racking up huge rushing yardage until we met Highlands in the playoffs, and they were simply to quick on the defensive side of the ball for it to work. If the defense is faster they'll have you tackled before you can even make a read.

Colerain may have the most effective option game in the country. They've been running it for 20+ years and have multiple wins against top out of state competition not to mention beating all of the GCL schools multiple times (they are the only school in the area who can do it consistently). They use it for all of their youth league teams. By the time a kid is a Freshman, he's been running the option for the Little Cards (as they are called) for 5 years.
