I had to look up what my old high school was doing now. Seems spread offense, just about everything in shotgun. They did win a state title a few years ago, so seems to be working.

It used to be an old-school coach who ran a 3-man T formation. We were a big school that produced a lot of D1 linemen, so we would run all over most schools. But there always seemed to be a ceiling when you have a style like that and go up against the top schools.

Wonder how many schools went through that transformation of having some legendary coach who ran the wishbone or whatever for 40 years being pushed aside for some modern systems. Technically they may have been winning games, but were never going to be more than a pretty good team as long as they ran an outdated system.
