The 2010 Bosse Bulldogs were fun to watch. They had speed to burn. They lost a barn burner to Indian Creek in the Regional Championship. 

This team gets forgotten about often! I'm a little bias about this team though. Lol

So you don't believe defensive coaches can "figure out" an opposing offensive scheme?   If you play the same school every year and and every year they run the same offense don't opposing defensive coaches pick up on certain tendencies and can "coach up" the defense to recognize those tendencies? That is all I was positing.

But in the end it is the Jimmy's and Joe's who trump the X's & O's.    If you don't have the athletes to run your particular offensive or defensive scheme then you are most likely in trouble.

 

 

Obviously that's what defensive coaches are trying to do. The offensive coaches are trying to do the same thing, right? I feel like that's the game of chess coaches play. 

You said opposing coaches were starting to figure out Coach Colby's offense. I'm simply pointing out that from 2002-2017 he didn't have a losing season. So he (and that offense) must have been doing something correct.

Yes, a "lucky run", "once in a decade public school talent pool", etc.  All of those were factors.    Mr. Colby's "wing-t in a phonebooth" style of offense was a also a significant wrinkle a lot of opposing teams had not had to deal with before.  Of course this style was of diminishing returns as opposing coached figured out ways to counter it and the talent pool slipped, hastening Mr. Colby's move to Kokomo High School.

I can't speak of the talent pool slipping, but Coach Colby had tremendous success at Kokomo. So to suggest that opposing coaches "figured it out" his offense is absolutely foolish.

 It's a big issue not just in Frankfort, but in a *lot* of rural county seats. 

With the exception of driving through Frankfort a handful of times, I don't know much about it. So I don't know the issues Frankfort deals with. However, to suggest rural areas can't compete is simply untrue. Since Frankfort is a 4A school, let's stay in the 4A class and look at this weeks polls. I don't think most would consider Marion, East Central, New Prairie, Northwood, Mississnewa big city/suburb schools. Not to mention the ton of schools that are either competitive or at least cycle through up and down years. Can socioeconomics play a factor? Of course! Do larger cities have a bigger pool of talent? Sure!  Even so, I believe nearly every school is capable of being competitive or at least having a respectable program that may go through cycles occasionally.
