Fallbrook also tied Carlsbad, which lost to El Camino in the finals. A couple of people said I shouldn't come to Fallbrook because I'll never have the kind of athletes I had at Clovis West. The truth is I never had great athletes at Clovis West. I college recruits. You don't need great athletes to win football games.
Chemistry is a huge factor.
Give me a player who is an overachiever any day. At one point this season, the Warriors were 2-2 after losing to Mater Dei of Santa Ana and Esperanza. Both schools were ranked among the state's 10 best teams at the time. The Warriors have won eight consecutive games behind a wing-T offense that averages more than 400 yards a game and a defense that tends to yield yardage, but makes plays at opportune times. It's the same ground game he's been running the last 26 seasons since first seeing Delaware run it in the Camellia Bowl in '74.
