Does Madisons offense suit what THEY want to accomplish? Because they will finish 5-5 and get beaten in the 1st round by a team who needs to balance out their offense according to you.

I hate to tell you Coach but CC ain’t Graham, Riverheads or Appomattox.
Like I said, being balanced is, I think, important. At least the threat of a pass is something. But you do you Coach. Maybe you’ll prove me wrong one day and win it all.
I am not affiliated with Clarke County whatsoever. Riverheads won 7 straight titles and throws the ball less than everyone you have named, so luckily I wont need to prove you wrong.... It's been done already. All this talk about Clarke County but they have consistently been better than Madison for the better part of 10 years.
You’ll have to ask the coach but I’d say MC is trending back to where they want to be. JB Brown just broke the single game rushing record last Friday with 415 yards on the ground. MC appears to try to be balanced. Might not always work but they try. We have no illusions what this teams is…it’s building and growing incrementally.
But nice job in trying to divert away from your post season failure. Best of luck Coach.
Well maybe Riverheads just does it better than CC? I stand corrected😃
No denying that Madison has been down for a while now from the glory days but things are starting to look better. Coach H and staff are working hard.
Madison at Clarke last week of the regular season 👀 🍿
Love some good ole Bull Run smack talk.

Once again I do not coach. I am simply a fan. Congrats on running for a bunch of yards on a team who has given up 200 points in 5 games. I'm curious, How did your balanced offense do against Buckingham County?
Talking about postseason failure when Madison struggles to make the postseason is hilarious
No smack talk here. CC probably has their way with us. We are still young and building. But my comments were about the lack of post season success. Maybe that’ll change for CC this year.
Come talk to me when you guys actually win a state title in football.
We haven’t won one since 1999. When was your last one again?
Once again I have ZERO affiliation with Clarke County or any team in the Bull Run for that matter. Congrats on a title 24 years ago. Cling onto it tight bc you wont sniff one anytime soon.
The Madison/Clarke relationship is interesting to me. It seems like all the other teams in the Bull Run (save Rapp) have their natural rivals. Luray and Page, Central and Strasburg (and Mountain View when they are relevant). Madison and Clarke are the two furthest away from the rest but both have rich athletic history.
On an unrelated note, I'm going to try to make it up to Berryville this Friday. Should be epic.

You are probably right Coach. But 3 is more than a lot of schools. I just hope that when we play CC that we can stay close enough to avoid a running clock in the second half.
I'm not affiliated with Clarke at all. I've just gotten tired of this guy talking down on heavy run teams that Madison can't beat.
You are right. I think some of it stems from when CC great Chandler Rhoads came to Madison and coached basketball and football. He was INTENSE to say the least and really wanted to catch up to CC. Wasn’t in the cards though.
Truly, I admire what CC does on the football field. They are so good with that offense. It just seems that when they get behind in the playoffs, they have to go so out of character that they are not ready for it. I’m sorry that opinion ruffled a few feathers. It’s just one persons opinion on an otherwise fine program. Ring the bell CC!!
I’ll be glad to discuss it with you at the game at the end of the season. I’ll buy you a coke and popcorn and you can educate me on the virtue of always coming up short despite high expectations!!😃
I won't be there. I have no interest in watching a wanna be air raid team get blown out.
Sure you won’t coach😃. I’m sure you will be ringing the bell Saturday after the game. It just won’t be after the state championship. But I hope I’m wrong.
Once again I have no affiliation with Clarke.. I live almost 3 hours away from Berryville.
Methinks he doth protest too much🤷♂️. You should proud of what you have done in Berryville. I wish we could compete for the district every year.
Graham passed several times and Meadows had 100% pass completion for the game. The ability to pass helped Graham tremendously against a strong Central team.
That's fine. They were not a "balanced" offense like MC is referring to. They lined up and ran right at people. Easily 85-90% run. Riverheads did not throw the ball hardly ever. Appomattox would beat you running 3 plays if you allowed them to.
The threat of a pass is sometimes just as good as an actual pass coach. But if I could coach football, I wouldn’t be on a message board going back and forth over the virtues/drawbacks of one dimensional offenses at the state level.🤔
I do not coach. Simply a fan. Ironic how that's exactly what youre doing though
I couldn’t coach my way out of a wet paper sack, Coach.
You have changed my mind in one respect;, some teams that are fairly one dimensional can and have won state titles. CC just isn’t one of them. I stand corrected Coach. By the way, what Region B team is three hours away from Berryville? You did not chose wisely.🤷♂️
Just to be clear @Hampton Roads 6 would argue that run plays should be outlawed, lol. Spread the field and toss the rock…….
We lost to Buckingham 22-7 in week 2 so I know you are being less than forthright Coach. Even you can’t be in 2 places at once!
I was about to say there actually is a school in B that's like 3 hours from Berryville...Buckingham!!
The score should've been much worse. We had two defensive touchdowns called back. I was there in the stands. I live in Buckingham. Never claimed to be anywhere else.
Last year I think he jumped on for a bit or maybe the year before
The Knights are a quality team. CC had a bye that week? That’s the only way you were in the stands Coach😃
Ok Coach, So how did you coach CC and attend the MC/Buckingham game? That’s quite the trick! I’m impressed.
I guess I should not have said one dimensional. I should have said inability to adapt when your strength is taken away by the opponent.

How does Madison adapt when teams take their strength away? Better yet what is their strength? Do they have one?
What is worse "the inability to adapt when your strength is taken away". Or the inability to have a strength??? Hmm
What is worse is knowing that what you do will not take you to the promised land and you are okay with that.
I get it though. I’d be butthurt to if we had the athletes CC has had over the last 10-15 years and no championship to show for it.
Like I’ve said multiple times, I respect what CC has done in the regular season. It is just my opinion that unless there is a philosophical change, you won’t ever get a state title. I hope I am wrong. I’d love a BRD team to win the title every year.
