[30 going on 40]

It's because Highlands has 10 Receivers that ALL play. Was talking to the Camel coaches last night and they feel the reason that the FL team died is because of the platooning a new set of receivers EVERY down by HHS. The Birds receivers stretched the field and sprinted on every single play. As soon as the play ended, 3-4 ran off, 3-4 ran on. 10 receivers caught passes as well. HHS averaged 14 seconds between snaps.

Yes, winter conditioning is a big factor, but you cannot defend against that. The ONLY defense a team has, is offensive ball control!

I love the fact that whenever a player gets tackled, they pop right back up and sprint to the sideline, not jog, not lay on the ground for a second, up and sprinting. Also, it's not just the rotation, it's the fact that you have to be conscious of every receiver. They can ALL play, like there isn't a drop in (hockey term here, stay with me guys)their lines. They shift in 1, 2, and 3 and there is no production drop. The fatigue is very physical, but it also mental because you can never "take it easy" on receiver #8. It is in Wirth's head big time. He had a terrible time last year matching Highlands packages w/ the pace at which they switch receivers.
