The Shotgun Zone Fly Offense

How does a high school offense go from 1,800 rushing yards in a season to more than 4,000? Bryon Hamilton left the college ranks to take over an average program at Foothill High School, inherited a double wing that ran everything between the tackles, and after a hard first season decided he needed radical change. The result was the Shotgun Zone Fly Offense, a run-first shotgun attack that turned Foothill into one of the top rushing high school programs in the country at well over 4,000 yards a year. This coaching video is the overview of the whole system.
