Modernize? What exactly does that mean right? I think there is certainly a point to be made about being more balanced, to keep teams across the state honest.

Much of it depends of talent, but also the ingrained "this is who we are" mentality. For example, at Belfry - next season they will Start Junior Sani Warren at QB. If the kid played for Lone Oak, he would pass for 3000+ yards. The guy can sling it.

I for one hope Coach Haywood utilizes that talent, but I understand sticking to the bread and butter too. 7 of 8 years as EKU has so highlighted, Belfry has made the semi's. Now, TITLES are another thing, and the OP's post has merit.

This is a good discussion

The down side to not using the kid's talent throwing the ball from time to time doesn't ultimately hurt Belfry, because Belfry will continue to be Belfry long after this kid is gone to college. It hurts the kid and his chances to land a scholarship to a bigger school because he was stuck in a run heavy offense and couldn't showcase his talent to bring in recruits to see him. So a kid that possibly could have played at Marshall or somewhere ends up at UPike or Lindsey Wilson. :truestory:
