JASPER PLACE 20, Harry Ainley 8: Coach Kyle Wagner- "We're BACK! We defeated Harry Ainlay 22-8 on a frozen field with a cold wind blowing. Ahh nothing like football Canadian style! We put in the 6/7-G pass with the receiver on the opposite side. They had no clue what we were doing. We got tons of yards on it. We passed more on the coldest day of the year than any other. Take what they give ya! We also used Rambo Wedge for short yardage and they never adjusted at all, even after the half! Well, back to the film room to prepare for Queen Elizabeth who we beat to get into the playoffs. Saturday Noon. Saturday is also Remembrance Day here, where we remember all the brave men who allowed us to be able to compete in such an event. Friday we will be attending the movie "Remember the Titans" at West Edmonton Mall (the theatre with the Dragon). They were able to give us a great rate and a parent who owns a West End business has graciously offered to pay the remainder. Any suggestions or tips to win the big one? Thanks Coach for all your help getting us here."

Yuma Scorpions 20 - Sun Devils 0: Coach Stew Stewart: "We pulled it out, after a bye last week and being hit with the flu "bug, we didn't look as sharp as we have been. We started out running 4 99's in a row, when the coaches started hollering "watch out for #37", we run the boot leg and scored then we started going inside and scored again. The ref made a comment about the linemen's feet being lined up as deep as the quarterback's. I told him that it didn't matter where their feet were as long as their heads broke the center's waistline. I didn't hear anything else from him so I guess he agreed. Found out that he's one of the coaches of a team we will be playing in two weeks. Great way of being scouted!!! Thanks."

BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

NORTH DELTA COLTS 50 - Langley Rebels 0 (Colts finish the season 9-1). Coach Roger Kelly: "The Colts finished the regular season by scoring seven touchdowns in the final game and 311 yards in offense. We used the 88 and 99 SPs almost all day with five different players scoring. My two A backs combined for three while the C backs scored two with the B back and QB adding one each. We were trying to set up for the pass but scored too fast for that sometimes. We head into the playoffs next week against the sixth place Cloverdale Cougars who battled us three weeks ago. But we have learned from that game. One game at a time... By the way, at least three other teams now try to use the wedge..."

CALIFORNIA

CENTRAL VALLEY BULLDOGS 13, Sutter 8 - Coach Don Hodson - "We played at 10AM on Saturday pretty early for this age group. We won 13-8 against a good team from Sutter. Passed for 89 yards and rushed for 274 yards. Nor-Cal Championship game is this Saturday vs. a great team from Colusa they lost only one game this year. But we're a good team also with a 7-2 record 5-0 in league and 1-0 in the playoffs so far."

CYPRESS CHARGERS 6 La Habra Lions - 0 - Coach Christian Thomas: "Our post season play continues with a Victory. Defense came through and scored the touchdown (Thanks Guys!!). We were in the red zone 4 times and penalties shoved us back each time. We installed the 47C/56C Shuffle 2 weeks ago and have been giving it some reps...It Works...we ran it 3 times for a net gain of over 45 Yards. 88/99SP worked as usual as did 2 wedge. We gave them many different looks and mixed it up very well. 1-3 Passing for 15 yds. Total rushing 165+ Once again no fumbles!!! which I directly attribute to the "Rip & Strip" drill. Thanks Coach Wyatt."

LOS GATOS TIGERS

LOS GATOS PANTHERS

NIPOMO COWBOYS 30, Santa Ynez Pirates 20 -

SOUTH VALLEY PANTHERS (Van Nuys) 25, Westside Bulldogs 0 - Coach Bill Shine: "It was a rainy Saturday morning so the beginning drive was somewhat sloppy....99 P/SP was open all day. Our C back Raen Baggett has been coming on the last 3 games and running the plays textbook. C back ran for over 130yds and scored on a 47-C with a 70 yd run. A back Mikell Roy ran tough and scored on a 30 yd 88 P. B back Carlos Lopez added another TD breaking a 2 Wedge for a 40 yd TD. The Panthers are rolling Coach as we approach the first round of playoffs this Sunday. The line is starting to gel and get after people with a lot more confidence as we look to go into another undefeated team this weekend."

COLORADO

KERSEY COUGARS 34, Weld Central Rebels - Coach John Dillon: A classic smash-mouth football game - Double-Wing vs the I formation. The Double-Wing flexed its muscle CLASSIC SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL GAME - DOUBLE WING VERSE THE I FORMATION. THE DOUBLE WING FLEXED IT'S MUSCLE THIS GAME. THIS WIN PLACES THE COUGARS IN THE HUNT FOR THE LEAGUE TITLE WITH TWO GAMES REMAINING.

CONNECTICUT

CROMWELL LIONS

WEST HARTFORD GIANTS 38, JETS 14 - Coach Greg Cheverier: "The peewee giants (10-11yrs) are now 5-0 after beating the jets 38-14. The 3 trap at 2 scored from 25yds. The wedge was run 6 times and resulted in no less than 7yds an attempt, 2 td's and 2 xpt conversions. The super-power resulted in 1 td and at one pt in the game was called 11 times in a row. The 47c did not score this week but resulted in no less then 10yds a carry. The kids love the system and it involves everyone on the team. The fake wedge- c-back reverse has scored 7 out of 7 times, in four games! Thanks for everthing!"

FLORIDA

WELLINGTON DOLPHINS 30, Royal Palm Cowboys 0 - Coach Jack Brown: "Coach Wyatt, I never played past my sophomore year in high school. It's my third year coaching youth football. Ee received your "dynamics" video the day before our first practice in sept. this year. We're 7-1, having lost only to a travel team from Pahokee FL. Last year I was 4-4 and scored 78 pts all year. We scored our 200th point Saturday Oct. 28 in another 30-0 mercy rule game. We've only been stopped on downs once this year. We haven't punted. I'm still learning how to call plays! Saturday, when ahead by 3 touchdowns, I wanted to work on 43 tackle trap. Our tackle missed his block twice in a row. Now it's 3rd & 10 so I run criss-cross 56 c to get the first down. Well, you guessed it, my A back ran a 50 yd td. Undaunted, again, I call for 43 ttr to get a 2 point conversion. By now the entire offensive line is yelling at our rt tackle to BLOCK # 56!!! Well, my C back saw the biggest hole he's seen all year. We've got one game left. Thanks for this offense. the playbook and tapes eliminated a lot of the mystery that prevented me from scoring in the past. As a matter of fact, one of my dads is a retired NY jet wide receiver, he says that he has never seen such a comprehensive playbook and asked me to coach his son again next year. Now i need to learn how to coach defense. Thanks again.Go W."

MIDWAY PACKERS

ILLINOIS

DEERFIELD YOUNG WARRIORS 26, Maine East 14 - Coach Keith Babb- "Maine East played a 7 diamond defense and their best player lined up at nose. As such we gave them a steady dose of 88 and 99 super power. Our C back had an awesome game scoring on a 65 yard run and a 70 yard shuffle (shovel) pass. We also scored on Red Red and 88 s.p. We managed to play three different lines - so I hope we are getting deeper. Our defense is getting better as we picked off 4 passes today. Our 3rd string defense gave up a late score to make the score look closer. We are now 3 and 1 and looking forward to our last 3 games. I like how our team bounced back from last week's defeat."

FRANKFORT WILDCATS 7, Hickory Hills 6 - Coach Rob Swaim: "Today we overcame horrible officiating to beat the undefeated team in 2 OT. We were flagged 12 times to ZERO, with 2 of those coming on TD's, and 3 holding penalties in the 1st overtime. With such a flexible offense and with a few games under our belts we are able to adjust to any situation that is thrown at us. The 66/77 SP's are great plays and have worked for us all season, especially when the other teams start to key on your motion. Rushed for over 200 yards on a field covered with snow and mud. This win now makes us 4-1 and puts us into the playoffs!!"

HANOVER PARK HURRICANES 32, Wheaton 15 - State 110-pound Semi-Finals - Coach Bill Lawlor: "Today was about as fulfilling a day as one can have. We qualified for the BGYFL Super Bowl at Northern Illinois University at the 110 Gold Level. This team has been division bottom feeders for three years and now the kids and the parents are going nuts!! B-back Tre Porter pounded for close to 200 yards and three touchdowns, mostly off of 3 trap at 2 and 6-G. Joey Mueller got it going with a forty yard touchdown run off of Slot Liz 88 Super-O. Left end Alex Flores had a 35 yard touchdown pass off of a throwback. Wheaton only scored in the fourth quarter after they got the ball on our 30 due to the courtesy rule when we were up by 32 points. Next stop Husky Stadium and the Glen Ellyn Golden Eagles. Hugh, it took me two months to really get this offense clicking, but we have basically unstoppable on O the last month. It is a credit to your offense and the philosophy of football I have learned from people I have met at your clinics over the years. Thank you and I will keep you posted. I am thinking that we will bring back some Spread Sprint sweeps this week as it is a fast astro turf over there."

HAZEL CREST MUSTANGS 12, Country Club Hills Cougars 6, (2 OT) Coach Nick Moyenda: "Laurence Henning scored in the second OT using 5X from ten yards out, it was a thing of beauty. Eight wins in a row. Up next a rematch with the only team that defeated the Hazel Crest Mustangs, the South Holland Jets in the SuperBowl. I can't wait."

KENTUCKY

DAVIESS COUNTY FROSH 44, Owensboro 18 - Coach David Crump: "The Daviess County freshmen defeated the Owensboro freshmen for the second time this year last night 44-18. 88 and 99 power led the way. 6 and 7G along with the wedge destroyed the Red Devils. Our passing game consisted of a play I call Blue/Red and Blue/Red Pop. Blue/Red are your red and blue passes combined. When I get 8 men on the front I release both ends on seams routes with a 2 step drop by the QB. He throws to the end that is open. The Pop pass is still Blue/Red with the addition of the A and C backs releasing quickly to the flats on a 45 degree angle or less. My tight ends scored 3 times last night on this play. This year these plays have been very effective from my opponents' 30-yard line in. They have been great first down plays from anywhere. I run these from tight with no motion." (Coach Crump knows the offense. He has been with the Double-Wing from the very first clinic in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, and has attended three other clinics. He has all my tapes and we correspond regularly. He has been a successful high school head coach in his own right, and I value his observations.)

MILLERSVILLE WOLVERINES 25 - Maryland City Mustangs 14 - Coach Jason Clarke: "Like I told you our organization is now known for running the Single-Wing. Well as soon as my offense took the field, we lineup in the Wildcat formation, they jumped offside. (I guess their scouting report read that we normally, run 2-wedge on first sound to start the game!) Then we lined up to finally run our first play, and I hear the Coach yelling, they're running the Single-Wing, Time Out, Time Out. He then adjusted his kids to the appropriate positions to stop us. We then ran an 88Power, and Coach if you could have seen this play, for me it made my season. The L-Back blocked the Corner, the double team was on the defensive end, when the pulling guard and tackle came through, there was absolutely no one for them to block. The Coach had nicely positioned his kids inside the box. For the first time this season, everyone blocked the way they were supposed to. On that play we went 35 yards, because the pursuit caught our A-Back while he tried to weave his way through the blockers. Our A-Back in that game ended up getting 217yards on 8 carries with 3 touchdowns. Our C back got 74 yards on 5 carries with 1 touchdown. Yes we spent the majority of this game on defense, but the interesting tidbit of the game is we ended with 304 yards total offense. Our four scores came on 3 88-powers, and the other came on the 47-C. We have one more game left and this will be a tough one for us. The team we are playing has not lost, and are all 9 years old. We are looking for the big upset this week. After our season, I hope to be able to send some video from one of our games. Talk with you later."

MASSACHUSETTS

FRONTIER MIDDLE SCHOOL (SOUTH DEERFIELD) 34, Mahar Regional 14. Coach Don Gordon- "Five different players scored. Highlights - we scored on the very first play of the game on TR 88 Super Power and our QB got his first TD on 88 PWR Keep. We are now 6-1. It was a satisfying win for us since they had beaten the one team that beat us. Next we play Athol Regional. They are undefeated at 7-0. It should be a great game."

WEST BOYLSTON SPIRITS 30, Worcester Vikings 6 - "Hi Coach, We faced the undefeated and defending Super Bowl champio Worcester Vikings yesterday for the Central Massachusetts Regional title. Visions of Lambeau Field with temperatures in the 20's, 25 mph wind gusts and driving snow.  They had played a 4/4 all year long but started in a 5 and went to a 6.  We began pounding inside with Wedge at 2, and then against the 6 we had success with 7G lead, and eventually moved out to the super powers and the down T's. Up 16 to 6 just before the half, we went to Red Red which was open all day, but with the wind it was just over-thrown. The greatest thing about this offense I think is the ability to consistently get positive yardage and eat the clock.  They turned the ball over with their first drive in the second half, and we scored on a 10 play, 65 yard drive. After another defensive stop, we pounded out another 9 play scoring drive. Final score- West Boylston Spirits 30, Worcester Vikings 6. Central Massachusetts Pop Warner Midget Champions.  On to the regionals. Thanks coach for all of your help." Coach Scott Anderson

WESTFIELD PATRIOTS 20, Agawam Warriors 6- Patriots are SAFL Red Division Champions - Coach Jeff Gordon: "We played Agawam, today, a 6-1 team that has been killing people (They lost their first game last week). They went up 6-0 on a pass play, but we came right back. We couldn't Wedge on them, so we went 88 and 99 to move down the field. My QB hit a wide open reciever on our Twins X-Pass and he ran about 30 yards for the TD. They stopped the 88 Super Power for the extra point. Right before the half our MLB picked off a pass and ran it down to the one yard line. Guess what? QB Wedge for the TD. Tight Wedge at 3 for the 2 points (my best lineman is the left Guard, so we always Wedge at 3). We held them the entire second half, and tried a few different looks that basically just messed us up, so we went back to basics. We had a 3rd and long from the 50, and I called Red-Red. I was screaming for my QB to hit the open TE when I saw him launch it deep for the C-Back...I stopped screaming when the C Back ran under it and scored on a 50 yard pass play...My CB intercepted them on the next drive (He's the C-Back, he had quite a game) and we Wedged and 5X'd them until the clock ran out. This was our last game, and we finished 6-2 and won our division...No playoffs in this touchy-feely league(I guess that would make the other teams feel bad, huh??)so we did as well as I could have hoped...I am so proud of our kids. We took them all out for pizza afterwards. Looks like I will be seeing you in Providence next year....Thanks for all your help."

MICHIGAN

TROY COWBOYS 27, Madison Heights Wolverines 0 - Coach Bill Livingstone- "Dear Coach: Playoffs-Troy Cowboys 27, Madison Heights Wolverines 0! D-winged them all day, very stingy defense by MH and by us. Had 231 yards rushing on the day on 37 carries, 6.2 avg. Now 10-0 on the season. As usual, the big plays for us were the G's first, followed by the super powers. The C's hit pretty good too, and of course the play we ran 7 times on the day, WEDGE! Anyway, Super Bowl this week against our arch rival the Clawson Mavericks."

MINNESOTA

PINE CITY FROSH 38, North Branch 12 - Pine City now 7-0 - Coach Mike O'Donnell: "The Dragons tallied in each quarter and had six different players score points on the night as we accumululated over 500 yards in total offense.... For the game, we rushed for over 480 yards but still had a number of penalties which we were fortunately able to overcome. In addition, we hit on six of ten passes which helped balance our attack. Defensively, we intercepted one pass and held a very fine North Branch team to just twelve points. On the night, our A-back was 15x201, our B-backs were 12x96, and our C-back was 12x179."

MISSOURI

ST CHARLES JUNIOR VIKINGS 47, Junior Spartans13. Coach Mike Ryan: "My C-Back scored all seven TDs, 2 on 99 Super O's, 3 on Lead 47 Criss-Cross, and 2 on the goal line version of Red-Red you describe in Tip number 116. We are 4 - 1 - 1 this year, our first running the DW. Thanks for your help."

CAPE MAY RAIDERS 22, Dennis Township 0. Coach Frank Simonsen: "The kids had a ball running some SW ( not one bad snap ).This is the best I have felt all season thanks to your "33" D., the kids played their positions and hit. Next week we play Middle Township to see if we can knock them from the unbeaten, and force a playoff between them and Upper Township. If we had played like this all year we would be playing for the Championship. I feel we are playing D as well as we can. If Middle beats us they will need to beat us playing football and not just running past people out of position. I think our O is as good as it can be run at this level. Without mistakes and with good ball controlling calls we have a good chance to upset them. We only had one fumble this game ( NO BAD SNAPS )."

NORTH CAROLINA

DURHAM EAGLES 27, Capital City Steelers 6 - "Coach Wyatt, Tonight, we dispatched the Capital City Steelers 27-6 in the Mighty Mite Super Bowl here in Durham. I don't have any stats to send you yet (heck, we only finished playing Garner on Wednesday night), but the score was 6-6 at the half. Their's was the first score that we've given up in our last 4 games. Also, we'd never been tied at the half, and the Steelers were the first team that's scored on us in the 1st Half so this was all brand-new to us. It was an extremely physical game (we lost our star player twice), but in the 2nd Half we ran right at them and they simply couldn't stop the offensive machine. For the season, we outscored our opponents, 260-24. Thanks for your help and support. I'm looking forward to your seminar this spring. Sincerely, Dave Potter Head Coach Durham Fighting Eagles Undefeated 2000 CFF Mighty Mite Champions

OREGON

TIGARD TIGERS 20, Oregon City 7 - B Back Gavin Jellison had a lot of carries for a lot of yards and 2 TD's. One on 3T2 and another on 2 Wedge. C Back Sammy Carlson posted another solid game with 47C catching the defense sleeping almost every time. coming around the end. Well, this win puts us at 5-2 for the season and a guaranteed playoff berth with a win next week. Hugh, the Pancake Drill has been derided by some of my coaching peers as an ineffective and sissy way to teach blocking and tackling. This team is living proof that it's probably the BEST way to teach it."

SOUTH CAROLINA

MOUNT PLEASANT VIKINGS 13, Titans 6. Coach Jody Hagins: "We could have tied or lost this game on a coaching mistake (I'll get to it later). Anyway, we played the Titans in the Jamboree and the coaches watched our game last week. They had a good game plan to stop our super powers. Put their game plan with our bad snaps and the desire of my wingbacks to turn 88/99 SP into sweeps, and we weren't very effective to the outside. However, for them to stop the off tackle, they had to commit folks to that point of attack. Thus, we started to wedge them. Last night was the best wedge blocking we've had all season (we worked on it a lot at last practice). Both TDs and one PAT came on 2-Wedge (we had well over 100 yards on 2-Wedge -- we play on an 80 yard field). The big coaching mistake was going away from the wedge to TR88SP for the second PAT. Why do something different until they shut it down?"

TENNESSEE

FRANKLIN COWBOYS 39, Brentwood 0- Coach Greg Stout: "We won our first round playoff game Saturday beating Brentwood 39-0. Six different players scored TDs on 6 different plays. We scored on a 3 Trap@2, 29G-O, 88 Super O, XX47C, Wedge Keep, and a 5X. The defense held them to negative yardage and forced 2 fumbles, 2 interceptions and blocked a punt. Played the 2nd and 3rd string on offense the entire 2nd half and they put together a 65 yard drive that took 8 minutes off of the clock. This is the 5th game in a row where we have not gone 3 and out on any possession and we had a 25-15 edge in time of possession. Our kids love running the DW and the parents love it too."

TEXAS

HILL COUNTRY COWBOYS 31, Town & Country Warriors 6 (Cowboys now 3-0)

ROCKWALL MUSTANGS 10, Broncos 0 - Coach Scott Barnes: "Well, we put up over 300 yds rushing in our 3rd game but only put 10 pts on the board. It's hard to believe, but we turned the ball over 5 times. 4 series of 10+plays ended with a fumble. The only excuse I can give is that we were playing on a soaked/muddy field because they watered right before the game(we had the 8:00 a.m. game, and apparently they watered the field from 1:00 a.m. - 7:00. It was a mess! The good news is our Defense only allowed 1 first down and scored on a safety. My dad was in the stands and he said the other parents were complaining because it "wasn't fair" that our boys kept the ball so long! Overall, I was extremely pleased with the way the offense looked after only 3 games against a team in their 3rd year together. That leaves us at the top of the standing at 2-0-1. We scored on T-rip 88 SP getting a 2pt conversion on 38 Black. We also ran a 3 series no-huddle that worked very well, with my C-back getting caught from behind on xx47c. Speed kills, and I ain't got none! I practiced the boys this week with the No-Huddle system Coach Wyatt describes on his website - my wife made the armbands, and they worked terrific. We'll actually use them in a game in a couple of weeks - saving it for the right time - but it is a real effective way to practice the offense. Hey - I'll take an W anyway I can get 'em - but I sure was asking myself 'why haven't I practiced the Wildcat!'"

CAVE SPRING REBELS 27, North Roanoke Chargers 0 - Coach Armando Castro: "Hi Coach.Great day we had here in Roanoke.Championship Game.Cave Spring Rebels 27-0 over North Roanoke Chargers.On to the Super Bowl! This team a much bigger team than us.Again made grave mistake.Look out for one back coming on 88 super power.We killed them with 3charlie which then opened up the super powers and 47c.Again this is exactly what we needed(Double Wing).Cause for a long time we had an offensive coordinator who was stubborn as a mule.Would get insulted if anyone said anything to him.Would run plays designed by him that worked ,and looked like they were designed by him.So against good teams we would always lose in overtime 6-0,12-7,etc.This year when i took over guess who was the first thing i got rid of.His system was second.We needed help on offense,and we got it with the Double Wing.I' ll keep you posted.CoachCastro"

CRAIG COUNTY COUGARS 16, Glenver 0 - Cougars now 4-0

STERLING BEARS 18, Purcellville Packers 13 - Coach Scott Russell: "The BEARS kicked off, but recovered a PACKER fumble and drove down to the PACK 7 yard line. Then, our chosen son, #45 in the program and #1 in your hearts, Andrew Russell, took it in around right end to "Six Point City" for his 2nd TD of the season. We failed to convert.We scored a second TD on an awesome 24 yard run by our Silver team FB phenom, Justin Low, and again, failed to convert, 12-6. Our 3 Back, Caise Vickery, Jr., rushed all day but could seem to break away for more than 6-7 yards at a clip and always brought down by a gang of PACK DBs. We went to the half down 13-12. After the half-time festivities, we received the 2nd half kick off and ate up a lot of valuable time gaining yardage and first downs, when #4, Caise Vickery looked like he was going to finally cross the impregnable imaginary plane. But, the impression that effect of the "hometown" aura on officiating was remarkable. Caise rushed all day, gaining a season high of 80+ yards when he raced to the left goal line pylon and knocked it over for an apparent TD. Alas, it was ruled short, putting us at 1st and goal at the 1, late in the 3rd quarter. The defensive alignment was tight up the middle to prevent a QB sneak and a possible TD for #11, our QB, Braden Sager, so our 4 back, #30, Onzy Elam, scampered in off tackle for the icer.Now we face the JETS in a rematch of a sloppily played 12-0 BEARS loss 14 days ago in our first round of single elimination play-offs, Friday 3 November 2000 at 7:30 pm at the Wm. Allen Memorial SportsPlex. How many tickets do you need?"

EDMONDS CYCLONES 19. South Coounty Warriors 13 - Coach Glade Hall: "On Sunday our Edmonds Cyclones faced off with the South County Warriors in the championship and won 19-13 in a very exciting game. We scored on three long drives using the 88 and 99 Super Powers to slowly hammer our way down the field. Our kids made several great fourth and long conversions using Tight Rip Red-Red. The score was tied up at 13-13 with nine minutes to go when we regained possession. We went on a long 80-yard drive running 14 plays and using up nearly six minutes of the clock. We scored the winning touch down when I called TR 88 SP QB Bootleg Left. South County had chance to win it at the end but our kids played good defense and stopped them as the clock ran out. We finished the year at 10-0 and the league champion."

FRANKLIN SABERS 27, Cudahy Bulldogs 7 - Coach Rick Senk: "Closed our season with a nice win. 38 Offensive plays for 305 yards. 4 of 8 passing. 88 Super Power and 38 G-O put the game away early. We were able to get 2nd team offense in at the start of the 2nd quarter. A diluted 2nd team defense gave up a late 4th quarter score. I would like to thank you Coach Wyatt for help and guidance in making the transition to the DW easy and very productive. If you will permit me Coach Wyatt, I would like to pass on some advice. Although we had only 2 losses this season, they were due to a couple of coaching errors that I regret. First, establish the Power and Super Powers early. Do not panic and be patient. Let the defense see and defend the Power plays. In both losses we knew their potential weakness and went at it too early. Second, would be size of your players. Even though we have 40 players on our roster. Pound for pound we were one of the smallest teams with only 8 legitimate linemen. We played teams that had entire lines 3 to 4 inches taller than us, including the 2 teams that gave us losses. I do not know what they feed these boys but there is no substitute for Horsepower. Third, Choose your Guards wisely. These guys are the cutting edge of your sword. As a coaching staff we are well aware that this was our Achilles heal and we must and will improve at this position. Fourth and last, think in terms of first downs,"Don't get greedy". Thanks again Hugh!!"
