Mr. Beckwith is not an option for this school's football program. He's the ring leader for the boring and easily defensed Delaware Wing-T.
I've seen plenty of high school football and we're stuck in the 1930's. Out west, you'll see a lot of pro style formations and actual QBs who can throw the football more than 30 yards down field.
In Western PA, I've seen schools like Redbank Valley, West Shamokin, Karns City, etc show more interest in a balanced attack than Kittanning.
I can tell you this, it is all about the buddy system in Kittanning. It was there when I played baseball and I've seen it in everything else. Another reason why our town is going down the tubes while Ford City is working hard to generate money, thanks to the old PPG plant.
You can't blame Mr. Panchik because the Wing-T is all he knows, the same for the other coaches. What the Kittanning administrators have to do is actually do some research, step on some toes and hire new coaches from outside who have a different vision of high school football.
