I like the spread because it can get more athletes involved. However, the only reason Belfry stayed in the game with Central in '07 and Russell with Mercer County in '06 was because of the wishbone. Man on man both Belfry and Russell were outmatched against those teams. Also, the wishbone is not seen by the Louisville/Lex/NKY schools that much and it can hard to prepare for in one week.

Your point here is why I love the bone. No matter how old it appears, the fact is it gives an offense the fastest way to outnumber a defense (blockers to tacklers) at the point of attack. The power I formation gives away your strong side whereas the bone is even and harder to predict. Even teams with athletes that are not as big or strong can move the ball with this powerful formation by attacking a hole with 2 lead blockers followed by a patient back. I hope teams continue to use this style of play for years to come!
