What type of offense does Richlands, Union, Glenvar, Giles, run? Are they run heavy teams or a mix of run and pass? I see some chatter on here about giles passing more this year than in the past.
Not familiar with southwest teams ?
- Thread starter mojo on tapp
- Start date
They are all relatively balanced traditionally with the exception of Giles. But Giles will get big chunks in the passing game to counteract the lack of balance. When they throw and complete it, it's usually going for 6 points from what I've seen over the years. Glenvar probably is the next most run heavy after Giles. Those other two teams throw it around.
I'll speak for Richlands and I can give some outside perspective on Union since we play them every year.
For Richlands, we are very much a spread offense. You'll rarely ever see us trot less than 3 WR out for our sets, and we (in my best guesstimation) are a 65-35 Passing team. Not uncommon to see us go 5 wide and then turn around and have two TEs the next play, but still keeping 2/3 WR on the field. Against Union, we had some great success running the ball, so we can go to more of a running team if that's what the defense allows.
Richlands has scored 132 points through three games, but if you count the fact that in the first and third games our starting offense only played 1 series in the second half, we really have 132 point through about 8 quarters of 1st string offense. If a defense loads the box, we have 5 WR and a TE who are more than capable of catching passes down field and burning you over the top, and two WRs that are 6'4 with two more at 6'2. The TE also goes 6'2 and about 250 lbs and will light you up on defense. If teams decide to play more nickel and zone looks, we have two RBs (one is hurt for the next few weeks) that can run the ball behind our big OL.
So with Richlands, it's really pick you poison as far as how to defend. Even with 5 turnovers against Union, we still had 41 points and were an XP away from going into 2OT.
Against Richlands, Union came out in a spread look and had mild success, but their success against us came from lining up in a wing T offense with lots of misdirection. We had some starters banged up and one starting LB playing with a dislocated elbow in that game. But they have two very tall (6'4) receivers that can run fast and jump high.
Hope that helps a bit.

Glenvar used to be more run than pass..for sure. Over the past 3 years they're much more balanced. They have no problem throwing long on first down. One of their strengths IMO is they keep teams guessing much more than years past.
They are much more unpredictable last year and this year. They also are much better at taking what the defense gives them whether run or pass. They are equally strong at both this year and the QB can motor or throw on the run as well. They don't do anything on offense exceptionally well but they I would say line, qb, passing, running are all very good.
