Their entire team plays both ways! They would get killed in a big 5A district!

I have a lot of respect for an athlete that plays both ways and is that successful at a large school. In Texas this only happens in the 3A and below on a regular basis. if they played in Texas, they would get killed...for many reasons...one just because their tired.

Round Rock Back in 2006 was playing a couple stud players in the roles of RB/WR/DB/Safety. They used them in special teams and almost every play of the game when we played them at Baylor. Took them 18 seconds to run the kickoff for a touchdown.

The problem they ran into is they couldn't hang for the entire game and ran out of steam in Q4.

So in a sense you are right people do it but it just won't get you to the state game.

I've seen a few 2A schools do this, and kill some people. I guess everyone is tired, and cancels itself out.:D

They should make everybody play both ways. I'd like to see 2 QB's going at it.

Believe it or not Georgia High School football don't have to take a backseat to anyone. They are some pretty dad blame good teams over there. Valdosta and Lowndes county are in the same town! I may be wrong but Valdosta in their hey day was the national champion alot. I argue with my brother in Georgia alot about who is the best.

The best! Running wing-t, then playing defense vs a no-huddle spread team! I was stationed in GA, and they do have very good ball clubs because they have big time athletes.
