Getting to the State Championship Game with the Triple Option and a 180-pound Offensive Line
February 11, 2015
“Without a doubt, he’s the leader. He’s a great football player. He could play anywhere on our team. He could be a tailback or a tight end, but he’s our center.”
– Junior Left Guard, Jon Roberts (6-2, 170) and Junior Left Tackle Kevin Donahue (6-1, 195).
“Executing the timing-based option-read offense requires concentration and attention to detail in preparation, The ‘read’ of the triple option accounts for the first defender, with the Bayfield offensive linemen ready to block the second wave of defenders. I’ve said before, it’s hard to teach linemen not to block someone, but often a BHS lineman will release his initial block and move onto the second tier of the defense. They are a bunch of hard-working kids. And that’s a testament to the kids we have … to the kind of hard-working parents they have, and it’s contagious. You see that … and you want to work a little harder.” –Bayfield Head Coach, Marshall Hahn

In 2011, after running a camp with Dr. Lou Cella as Camp Director, Bayfield HS (CO) had an undefeated regular season for the first time since 1996 and advanced to the state championship game in Colorado.
“We were looking to take that next step, and felt that a camp might be just what the doctor ordered. We were not disappointed. We were already committed to the triple option, but the camp brought a much higher level of focus and understanding to our team, both players and coaches. Now when we tell our kids to ‘trust the system’ they know what we’re talking about.”
– Marshall Hahn, Head Football Coach
