Does your middle school run the same style of offense?

More or less.

And Combs was 2-2 passing as the backup. Olinger had a rough night in there, although he did break the big running play in the second half.

The middle school usually gives us a good RB and a few good linemen each year. Jude was last year's star RB, for example, and he put up over 100 yards tonight in the second half, plus he's going to be a decent DB as well.

There's always same late bloomers too. That's probably the big difference between a 5A and a 1A school. In a 1A school, you pretty well know who your big playmakers are going to be early in their careers, just because the numbers are smaller. In a 5A school, sometimes you have some kids who didn't play much in middle school who grow into good players and supplement the middle school stars.
