Vengeance - with great force - Centre Football pursues this virtue of excellence with our heart, mind, and body - passionately and relentlessly.
This is the foundation for which our program is being built on.
Offense
Hard-hitting and aggressive, Colonel Offense is based on a few key principles:
• Passing Game: Colonel Offense aligns with a three-receiver set and no tight end for an aggressive throwing game.
• Running the Ball: Two running backs provide the flexibility for a tough ground offense.
• Plan of Attack: Our offense relies on spreading the defense to create a weak spot in the coverage. We will then identify and attack the weak spot in order to gain yardage and score touchdowns.
Defense
Following the defense motto of “Every Play, Every Player,” Colonel Defense fields intense players who attack the ball on every down.
• The Line: Colonels use the 50 and 40 formations to quickly identify and disrupt the play with crushing attacks.
• The Secondary: Using a variety of zone, man-to-man, and combination coverage, the Colonel Secondary relies on speed and rapid reaction to get to the ball.
• “Put out the Fire”: Our purpose is to get the ball back to the Offense. So be enthusiastic, hit hard, and have fun!
Special Teams
An essential part of Colonel Football, Special Teams players are motivated and aggressive athletes who make big plays.
• “Be the Hammer”: Our Special Teams motto, we field some of the most physical players in the division.
• Seize the Opportunity: Remember, every down is an opportunity to make a big play.
Player Responsibilities
All players follow a set of guidelines for team and individual success.
• Teamwork: We win or lose as a group, not as individuals. Work as a team; we must rely on each other for success.
• Aggression: Whatever your position, attack the other team with a tough, physical style of play.
• Relentlessness: Never let up; scrape for every inch and keep hitting till the whistle blows.
• Honor: As a varsity athlete, you’re more than just a player. You’re also a role model. Live up to this responsibility by practicing honesty and integrity in all your dealings.
