In 2013, after working with Triple Option Football Academy Owner, Dr. Lou Cella, Cashmere High School (WA) broke the school record for rushing yards, broke the school record for total offensive yards, and went to the class A state semifinals.
“We have run the double slot option offense with great success since 1999. We thought we understood the offense, especially after spending several days at the Air Force Academy. After Lou Cella’s camp, we realized that our knowledge of this offense was only on the basic level. Lou quickly deducted that we were an experienced team and staff, and quickly took us to the next level of understanding. We set a new school record for rushing yards and total offensive yards as we reached the semi-final game of our State Tournament.
Coach Cella is a master teacher. He moves fast, is articulate and extremely knowledgeable. We are so impressed with Lou that we will have him back again this summer to run our camp.”
— Phil Zukowski, Head Football Coach
