Under Vicars, we have lost to 4 teams: Kettering Alter, Orrville, Oak Harbor, and Eastwood. There is a common thread between them...sort of. Oak Harbor under coach Quisno ran a Wing-T, Eastwood runs a Wing-T....therefore the 2 way players understand all of the misdirection better, helping them on defense quite a bit.
Alter and Orrville have a little something called Big Ten Linebackers! Hoobler, Borland, and Monheim....Big Ten LB's don't need to understand the Wing-T, they just sniff it out and get it done!!!!! Orrville has better developed athletes too IMO due to a stiffer level of competition, you can't give all the credit to the stud LB's but they sure don't hurt.
The Wing-T may be a junior high offense but when it is done well, it is very tough to defend. Coach Vicars learned it from one of the best Wing-T coaches ever so he is able to coach it very well.
The Kenton D scares me a little bit because of the 6 man front. If Nutter pops through to the 1st level....look out. He's gone...and staying on the field is our best defense against them.
Coach Mauk says he's the best RB they've seen all year...so we'll see how it shakes out.
It's a shame Kyle is only a junior

...just for you though 5Knots - we will be losing one Nutter after this year. Next year there will be two and after that there will still be a Nutter one left LOL
