Modern football has become about multiple wide-receiver sets and big passing totals.
For a young and improving Meigs County bunch, the only spread that matters comes on Thanksgiving.
Tipping his cap to the power style of a previous era, Meigs County coach Jason Fitzgerald used the wishbone as a weapon Friday night as the Tigers held off a late rally from homestanding Signal Mountain to win 28-23.
“We’re young, but that was what we wanted to,” said Fitzgerald, who has averaged 12 wins a year over the past six seasons at Meigs. “All of our offensive work this week was inside.
“I’m proud of them, and every win is a good a win.”
