On Friday afternoon, September 14, 1979, the Toad Tun High School varsity team regularly participated in the New York State High School Football League.

The good news is that the strength of the team against this time is about the same as that of Toad Tun High School, and it is also at the Div-2 level.

Of course, this grade is not an official certification made by the NFHS New York State Association, the American High School Athletic League, but the high school teams are roughly determined by themselves according to the level of college football.

Last season, the top 200 in the state were Div-1, 200 to 600 were Div-2, and the remaining 700 or so were Div-3.

Last week's match against Toadun High School's New York-Lincoln High School team was the Div-1 varsity team, but it was ranked very low, and the Toadun High School varsity team was ranked high in the Div-2 class, so the opponent at that time was half a level higher than Toad.

But this week's situation is much better, the opponent is also Div-2, and the strength of the two sides has not opened up much, so there is no situation where they were blown up at the beginning of the game last time.

On the 120-yard-long and 53-yard-wide course, the two teams were in full swing in a back-and-forth battle of offense and defense.

Toad Tun won the ball, so Beal, who was the closest end of the offensive team, also participated in the game.

After the center kicks off, the Toad Tun team, who have the ball, begins the established tactic, that is, Beal makes a miracle here, first attacking the cornerbacks on the defensive line, and then trying to block the interception of our team-holding teammates by the opponent's second-line lineback.

Considering that Beal can only play with the hunched opponent after the center kicks off, and the last three running backs, that is, the full guard and the two half-backs behind the offensive line, can get the ball from the quarterback, so the moment when Beal overthrows the enemy cornerback is roughly the offensive moment when the ball carrier draws a large arc to the right side and crosses the offensive line.

Therefore, after he overturned the opponent, he only needed to rush at full speed and knock over the second-line lineback, and the entire tactic would be executed.

It is not his concern how the subsequent running back with the ball is put by the enemy, because if an attack is done to this extent, the number of yards of advancement is also three to six yards, and the follow-up steady advancement, each time at the end of the [fourth offensive] round, it is not a problem to get ten yards of advancement and the next first attack.

But after two or three of these attacks, the opposing quarterback also began to strengthen the defense on Beal's side, often he had to overthrow the cornerback and face two enemy players, that is, the second line guard and the third line guard.

This drastically reduces the amount of room for his own running back with the ball, as Beal can only finish one, leaving the remaining enemy players to do it themselves.

Running backs, on the other hand, are mostly in pursuit of absolute speed, so they are not as large as safety guards or linebackers.

The security guard is subdivided into strong guard and game guard, among which the strong guard is a defensive player who is especially aimed at running tactics, and its size and strength are second only to the interceptor and guard of the defensive group, and most of the offensive group running guards can not do strong guards.

As a result, the offensive propulsion yardage of the Toad Tun Varsity team went from five or six yards from the first [First Gear Attack] to two or three yards in the second attack, and after the second attack of the second [Fourth Gear Attack], it seemed to become extremely difficult to take ten yards.

"George VI!"

In the forty seconds between the second and third offenses, quarterback Howard gave a clear signal to change tactics.

It's a backup tactic that the Toad Tun team has been specially trained by Coach Robert and Murphy over the past week, and it's still based on Bill's brute force charge, but with a little trick of confusion.

Before the whistle blows, the attacking side has the right to change the position of the player, but only one person behind the tee line, that is, before each kick-off, only one [guard] can change the position, and the rest of the guards must wait for the moving guard to stand still.

The defender does not have this limitation.

So after getting the signal from quarterback Howard, his own ball-handler, halfback Bowness suddenly moved parallel from the right side to the left.

This left Bill without any guards within ten to fifteen yards of him, i.e., no one to attack.

The opponent's strong guard keenly caught this, and it seemed that the enemy was about to attack from the other side. After seeing the nod of approval from the defensive team leader, he also moved parallel from one side of the defensive bill to the other.

At the same time, the other safety guard, who is also responsible for the quick walk, moved a little closer to Beal's side in case something special happened, such as a close end who was a legal receiver rushing over to receive a long-range forward pass.

As the tactics played, Bill's heart began to stir, and after the whistle blew and the center kicked off, he immediately used brute force to push down the enemy cornerback, and then charged at full speed, trying to take out the linebacks along the line and the rangers who could support quickly.

The enemy lineback and Bill also dealt several times, so he took a deep breath and rushed forward, but he didn't dare to send out all his strength, after all, a 100-kilogram ramming player was not what he wanted to defend, this was the opponent of the strong guard.

One side charged at full speed, the other just routinely defended, and needless to say, Bill took down the lineback with just a hard push and continued at full speed.

Howard, the quarterback on his side, is behind him, and unlike the normal impression, he is actually a two-point quarterback, that is, he can pass the ball to his teammates and run with the ball himself.

It's just that his ability to break through the front line with the ball is not strong, so he doesn't charge much personally, but in order to confuse the opponent, he can only go on the field and run wildly.

This scene immediately won the applause of the audience, because both sides of the game were high school teams at the Div-2 level, so today's audience was only four or five thousand, far less lively than the last time of tens of thousands of people, but the attacker broke through the absolute lead on the right side and made all the spectators immediately excited.

The position just now was thirty-two yards, and it seemed that there was a possibility of an attack that could touch down.

The cameraman under the name of CBS also sensed this, and after hesitating, the cameraman pointed the camera at Bill, who was in the front position.

This allows you to capture both the close end and the quarterback with the ball running to the center of the frame later.

And so a classic snap was born, when the close-end of the charge at full speed collided with the ranger who was trying to stop the enemy attack, and the poor ranger was knocked a full three yards away, or 2.74 meters, while the unblocked quarterback ran past the two men who had stopped and headed straight for the end zone.

As a result, it is not surprising that without the strong guard's blocking of the near end, the smaller ranger is cannon fodder, and the vast space on the right side is allowed to be galloped by quarterback Howard.

Toad Tun Team Touchdown!

The entire audience cheered instantly, most of them were not die-hard fans of a certain high school team, and it was not in vain to see such a wonderful change of tactics and goals.

"Three-yard Blade!"

Led by some people, such titles began to appear in the audience, but this did not affect the players on the baking sheet.

The opponent's rangers suffered this catastrophe, and the coach naturally called a timeout, ready to make a substitution, and at the same time protested to the referee, because this collision was too barbaric and contrary to sportsmanship.

Coach Murphy also signaled to replace Bill, so that Mr. Ferrari, who was also knocked out, could have a good rest.

“Good！” Robert was so pleased with the successful execution of this tactic that he high-fived Bill and congratulated him on his first victory.

"Very good, far more than I and Coach Moffey expected, you're a natural ......"

Robert was still praising Bill, who was playing for the first time, but Mr. Ferrari was not thinking about the excitement of the first game.

He's got to devote himself to his career!
