I think that we have been pretty successful at Shelby West Middle School, been here for 6 years and have won our conference championship every year... Our conference is made up from teams from Shelby County, Oldham County, Anderson County and Louisville Christian Academy. We run a spread offense with some different formations out of the power I, wing-t and I formations. On defense, we run a 4-3 attacking, blitzing defense with man coverage and we're trying to get into the backfield as quick as possible to disrupt and tackle for losses, were not sitting back on our heels and waiting. We have enough good athletes that we can play man press coverage and not give them enough time to throw the ball downfield.

I know it's just middle school football, but if you apply the same principles and fundamentals to high school, you still line up 11 guys and you put your best 11 guys on the field. Don't try and make it hard for the kids and in the end, you run and you tackle and that's what wins football games.
