Surely, by now, the answer to the question in bold has been answered for you. If JC passes against Highlands, it will not be because Highlands forces them to pass. It has not yet happened, so it is reasonable to assume that it will not happen this year either. Mueller does not run the ball in obvious running situations, such as sitting on top of a 70-0 lead, and Matney does not necessarily pass the ball in obvious passing situations.

Yea, I knew the answer to that question, but you still wonder if this is the year that he might try something different. But if he does not practice it in any other games, it is very unlikely he will in the playoffs, and if he does they will be very little if any game experience. Highlands has had games where they have run 95-100% of the game and games where they have passed 95-100% of the time. Some games he does not game plan against a certain team but uses the game to practice what he thinks the team needs to work on to be best prepared for playoff run. I guess JC feels that the run is the only way they can compete and have chance to win and stick with it from day one of practice, that is just a hard concept for us northeners to comprehend.
