so his team has lost to Armwood in the playoffs two years in a row, but in those games he has a combined 900 yards of total offense... including over 300yds passing last night

[Velcro]

We have 2 QB's now that have lost to Armwood and Armwood only... not exactly a bad accomplishment, considering they are the perennial champs.

[smazza]

why don't we recruit armwood qb

According to this aricle. Looks like Alwan Lee might be a pretty good find.  They say he is a Michael Vick type QB with pinpoint passing!! Lets hope he can be the man!

SEFFNER - Defending against one of the state's best quarterbacks required a call to one of the nation's sharpest defensive minds.

So Matt Thompson, Armwood's defensive coordinator, just picked up the phone last week and called 1-800-Defense.

On the other end was Monte Kiffin, defensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Who better to advise Thompson on the best strategy to use against Booker T. Washington quarterback Alwan Lee, a Michael Vick-type athlete?

"He was happy to give me advice," Thompson said.

That advice: Don't over-contain the quarterback.

It's worked for the Bucs against Vick and it worked for Armwood against Lee, a pinpoint passer and also a sprinter who doesn't hesitate to run with the ball.

Kiffin confirmed his conversation with Thompson, who said he called the Bucs coach on his drive home, and they spoke for about 30 minutes.

Thompson told Kiffin that in 2004, Lee ran through the Hawks' rush and his athletic ability allowed him the time to find an open receiver.

Kiffin's advice?

"Go after him, but only go back as far as the quarterback, don't get behind him because then he'll escape through the pocket," Thompson said.

"It was really hard to teach the kids that," he said. "We practiced it all week."

But it worked. Lee's rushing yards were limited to two to three a carry, but his 26-for-36, 326-yard passing effort, like Vick's -21-for-38 for 306 yards against the Bucs - just turned out to be big numbers. Lee was limited to eight second-half completions after the Hawks began blitzing.

Thompson is counting on it working against Tim Tebow, the senior quarterback of Ponte Vedra Nease, the Hawks' opponent in the Class 4A state final Saturday. Some publications have Tebow rated the No. 1 high school quarterback in the nation.

"Tebow is not as shifty as Alwan, but he is powerful and you're not bringing him down easily," Thompson said. "When he goes one-on-one with a linebacker, he wins."
