Before the 2010 season, Falls City HS (TX) had never won a regional championship in school history.
In 2010, after running a camp with Lou Cella as Camp Director, Falls City HS (TX) won the Regional and State Championship for the first time in school history in Texas while scoring 680 points in 15 games.
“The biggest thing for us is that it gave our kids the opportunity to work together in our offensive system before the season started – the techniques and fundamentals they learned was so big, so was the team bonding, and so was having an outside source (Lou Cella) teaching them – this was invaluable.”
– Mark Kirchhoff, Head Football Coach
In 2023, Scobey (MT) won a total of 2 games. Then, in 2024, after working with the Triple Option Football Academy and Dr. Cella, Scobey went to the State Semifinals in 2024.
“After a 2-7 season, we knew a change was needed in our program. With only one senior coming back and no one with any quarterback experience, we started looking for ways to maximize our talent but minimize our offense. The academy was exactly what we were looking for and needed!
“The beauty of this offense is its simplicity in teaching what appears to be a complex system. Our players believe in the small number of plays we run because they know they have repped these plays against every imaginable look they will see.
“Being a small school requires most of our guys to be two-way players, and I firmly believe that the mentality this offense creates makes your defense better! We were more physical on both sides of the ball this year and it all starts with zone dive and option.
“Lou is ALWAYS available for questions and it’s with his help that we were able to advance to the state semifinals this year. This offense has been a program changer for us!”
– Brock Berryhill, Head Football Coach
