Good read. Its amazing the different approaches and styles that work...they all work.
Im a fan of the two platoon system if it suits your style and for Collins it does.

On the other hand, you have somebody like 6A Meade County who has great numbers, but thwy are starting up to 10 kids both ways. Granted, they are a Wing-T/Wishbone team which tries to slow the game down, thus allowing their kids to get a litrle more rest than these uptempo teams.

Whatever Meade County does it works for them because they are tough every year.

I'm very glad that Coach Lucas decided to transition to a platoon system at Collins because they definitely have the athletes to do it. I think that it is one of the reasons Collins has improved so much from last year and even the beginning of this year, because they have more time to focus on one position and don't tire as easily. It should really help build the program in the long run, as it allows new players to learn their positions more quickly. The platoon system is one of the reasons that Highlands has such a good team. They don't have tons of elite talent, but they have players that get really good at one position. I believe that any school that can platoon should, because it will help your program.
