It’s exactly what they did in their win against Phillips. So well coached.CG’s win was textbook clock management.

Perhaps those offenses aren't as schematically extinct as one foot in mouth assistant coach claimed in 2015. Obviously run heavy isn't for everyone and times are changing, but some things will always give you an opportunity to succeed, especially in Illinois in November.How many run dominating teams are winning 2018 state titles???
IC, JCA. Cary Grove......
Why do you think that's the case?

Run the ball and stop the run will usually lead to a successful season.
I saw that in the recap. That's nuts.I’m watching the replay of CG-CM. CG went 90 yds in 11 minutes, 21 plays in the 2nd half to score. Crazy.

Very good insight PantherWildcat86. I am in total agreement. Give the stud player the ball as often as possible and with decent linemen good things happen.
I guess that’s good in theory but how many schools other than those that recruit for football are sending multiple kids off to college? Is it offense or defense style that’s getting kids more looks? Maybe I’m in a bubble because CG has sent 3 kids to D1 schools in 15 years. They operate on a machine mentality and it’s their proven method to win but they don’t churn out college prospects. I think for them they just don’t have the size and speed colleges are looking for. I’m all over place now. I’m out.I think if you are primarily a passing offense more players on your team have opportunities to show college scouts what they can do and therefore a greater chance on getting a college scholarship.
The teams that like to run get to show off one or two skill players and linemen but it does nothing for your WR's or DB's trying to get an opportunity at the next level. The WR's never get the ball and the DB's never get a chance to practice against the pass.
So more players get to show what they can do for the college scouts in a primarily passing offense.
Dont think the DB argument holds much water. Outside of a few weeks in su.mer camp, first team defenses of large class teams dont rep against their own offense. They rep against a scout team of whatever scheme they will see that week. So being on a run oriented team has little to no impact on a db's development.I think if you are primarily a passing offense more players on your team have opportunities to show college scouts what they can do and therefore a greater chance on getting a college scholarship.

Offensively I believe it to be a wash. A run heavy team has 5 OL positions and 2 to 3 rb positions it can sell to colleges. A pass heavy team will have 2-4 wr and 1 qb it can sell.

Agree. Ans I've seen receivers from run heavy teams have no problems. At the end of the day I believe it's more about skill set and measurables. Unless you are a running back playing in 2001 rb offense or a qb playing for a team that legitimately never throws, you will get recruited if you run fast enough, lift enough, or show well at camps and combines. Tape and system are helpful but players are going to get recruited if they have the size and speed.Pass heavy teams have no problem getting linemen recruited to college on both sides of the ball. I have seen it first hand.

We had no Fall this year.Some teams run September offenses.
Some (ever fewer now) run November offenses.
Some years a mild Illinois Fall enables the strength of the September offense to shine through Championship weekend.
Except for Championship weekend, 2018 through rough weather at everyone for much of the playoffs, impacting a lot of games and teams' rhythms.
My take on the original post is a lot of September offense teams fell victim to our weather from Halloween until the Semi-Finals.
A mild Fall may have delivered a much different Championship weekend line up.
Just my 2 cents.
Exactly, if you have the size speed they will find you.In reality, I dont think a college really cares what type of offense a high school team runs. They lookat a lineman's measurables as well as his athleticism and footwork and decides if he is good enough for their program
IMHO, a favorable offensive situation features:
Although exceptions exist, the above seems to apply in 6A-8A ball, of which I have seen the most.
- a proficient-enough passing game where the QB can hurt the defense in the air
- a 4-wide receiving corps that forces the defense to commit 5 defenders to the pass
- a QB able to operate as a second legitimate run option when the offense then outnumbers the defense 7-to-6 in the box
My question is what WR's and DB's are playing in college from JCA and Geneseo (teams that rarely pass but huge success winning state titles)??
I would suspect not anywhere close to the number of kids at Maine South or Montini who until this year was known as a primarily passing team.
And I do know JCA has a WR in the NFL.
The last time Geneso won a state title was early 80's.My question is what WR's and DB's are playing in college from JCA and Geneseo (teams that rarely pass but huge success winning state titles)??

I would say at Montini over the past 6-7 years that 90-100% of the starting corners went on to play college ball as well as 90-100% of the starting two wide receivers went on to play college ball.
How about JCA and Geneseo?
