If you are a Double Wing -Gun Wing team, Let us know who you are, and how you are doing!zzzzz

  There are but a FEW of us Double Wingers among the hundreds and thousands of high school teams in the country, but our small fraternity usually makes it's presence very well known, ...to our opponents angst ! 

Below are but a few examples of some great Double Wing / Gun-Wing  **Coaches and Teams Representing our offense today Big Time.....

                            FYFFE

Again & Again

 2020 Fyffe completes another undefeated season 16-0 and another STATE CHAMPIONSHIP defeating Montgomery Catholic 21-16 in an amazing game of perseverance. Catholic jumped on Fyffe early with their fleet of screaming fast and athletic abundance 16-0. So many great athletes on display made it a truly monumental task to coral and hang with such talent, but Fyffe did just that! Some really big plays by key Fyffe players gave the Devils a chance and Coach Benefield and the guys squeezed every opportunity they had in between the chasing of  Br'er Rabbits all over the football field. Defensive discipline and persistence was the winning formula in the end. Folks, Winning 5 out of the past 7 State titles is a ridiculous achievement, and the high school football world will surely take note at what an insanely good job Coach Benefield has done at his own Alma-Mater.

ALABAMA'S 5 TIME STATE CHAMPIONS  2020 Fyffe Wins 5th State Title in the last 7 years

                             (Coach Paul Benefield)

   2019 - Fyffe Red Devils, 15-0 Wins State Title Game VS Reeltown 55-7. ......The 4th title in just 6 seasons.

A ridiculous exhibition of Coaching,  discipline, and scheme, along with a magnificent defense, Shutting-Out 9 of it's 15 opponents and the First Defense Unit was never scored on the entire year. The offense puts up 638 points in those 15 games.   8That is...ridiculous!

***I went to the Fyffe - Reeltown Championship game and witnessed another beat down of a very speedy and talented team at Jordon-Hare Stadium. Fyffe was poised as always and did what Fyffe does. They go about the business of great blocking and great tackling, along with unprecedented ball security in a superbly run Double Wing scheme. In a world where high school coaches are clambering Clinics to get the latest trendy college and pro offenses and flash, to show their big time coaching prowess, Paul Benefield continues to stack trophies in the Fyffe showcase beating them profusely, running the Gun-Wing version of the Double-Wing and continually beating up on many times, bigger faster talent. Fyffe is a small community that grows it's own football players and with hard nosed discipline and the "one way" or the "Right Way" of doing things, which in Fyffe's case is, "The Paul Benefield Way". I'm sure one day someone will do a documentary of this great coach and his community where he himself played as a youth, and has now spent 20+ years bringing big time winning there. Fyffe had never won a state title but since Benefield implemented the Gun Wing in 2014, he has won 4 State titles in those 6 years. Congratulations again Coach on another superior coaching exhibition!

In 15 games, Fyffe has scored 638 points and given up 43 and those opponent points came late in trash time against the depth chart in blowouts Fyffe's First team Defense is un-scored on.... 

  At 2019 year end, Paul has raised his lifetime tally to 297 wins and only 53 losses in 29 years of coaching. He is 9th in Winning in Alabama history but who's winning percentage is better than all the 8 coaches that are ahead of him.

   Since we focus mostly on the offense we run on this site, I have to take the time to say that Coach Benefield's DEFENSE is one of the finest coached up defenses I've ever witnessed anywhere. To be able to shut down some of the powerhouse talents he has had to face with his team of average size and speed makes Fyffe a truly amazing team to watch. Even the most hard headed folks on the planet would have to give a hat tip to Coach Benefield and concur that he's one of the best high school coaches anywhere.  If they won't , I will!  L.H.

           Fyffe Red Devils-Alabama AA State Champions 2019

_____________________________________________________________

2018 - STATE CHAMPIONS Fyffe Red Devils, 15-0 After surviving it's mirror image, and very tough opponent, the Ohatchee Indians, Fyffe had to face a very big, very talented, and very athletic team, that based on appearance, you'd say, "I don't think Fyffe can hang with these guys BUT. I went to the game myself, and became part of this fantastic small town event. There,  I witness a complete domination, beat-down and dismembering of the highly potent Aliceville Yellow Jackets. Fyffe's defense was absolutely suffocating, containing all of that talent and only to submit to a late 50 yard Completion for Aliceville's 8 points. Fyffe's Gun Wing thrashed the Jacket Defense on all but a couple of possessions. On a rainy night Fyffe's superbly coached kids didn't bobble a single snap, handoff or have any ball security issue while Aliceville let it loose a few times as well as a big interception that added to the compiling of Fyffe's 49 points.  NOW  They have conquered the gridiron giants from Luverne in a war 21-19 for Paul Benefield and Fyffe's 3rd State Title in 5 years.

   I can say after following these guys and watching them for those 5 years, that Fyffe is one of the best coached teams I've ever seen. I have become a big fan. The attention to detail, and the fervor in which they have obviously been taught to play is amazing to watch. I congratulate Coach Benefield for placing and maintaining the bar very high for Alabama AA football. At 2018 year end, Paul has raised his lifetime tally to 282 wins.

  2018.... Fyffe is Off to another flawless season 10-0 as the playoffs approach, aiming to get back into the "State Title" business under Coach Paul Benefield. Coach Benefield with this past victory chalked up his 281st win as a high school football coach, mostly at Fyffe, the school he went to, and played for in his youth. His winning percentage is a ridiculous 84% and climbing over 27 years. Again as the wins pile up and the scoring adds up, still no site of celebrating by players. It's as if making tackles, great runs, catches and touchdowns are expected, and not like winning the lotto. This Fyffe thing is beginning to read like a small town Americana Football Movie isn't it?. "Good luck into the playoffs and I hope I can make one in person". "Being 3 hours away, I'd like to thank you for keeping me on line and letting me feel like a close fan of your great team".

_____________________________________________________________

  2017.... As of November 19, Coach Benefield and the Fyffe Red Devils were 12-1, averaging 42 points per game, and leaving their opponents a scant 7 points roughly per game. Fyffe was into the FINAL FOUR again, but fell 7 points shy of another State title game. Congratulations Coach and team on another fabulous season in the construct of the Fyffe Dynasty!

_____________________________________________________________

  2016....."Congratulations: Paul Benefield & the Fyffe Red Devils ALABAMA Two-Time 2A State Champs Unbeaten. Fyffe wins title 28-0 over Aliceville. Fyffe put the Gun Wing (Double Wing) Offense in in 2014 and has won Fyffe's 2nd state title in 3 years running !   I had a chance to watch these guys on the sidelines in 2014 and they are a hard nosed well coached machine, and as methodical as I've ever seen in a high school team! Coach Benefield has the Gun-Wing stroking on all cylinders outscoring opponents 700 to 113 in 15 games"! Per game average score 47-7. They also play very good defense as you'll notice! Can you say  Domination? "This team is very well coached"! Solid kids and leadership. I've watched most of their games on video and have never seen them celebrate after a score or a big play. It's a good thing, they would wear themselves out!  Oh, In 2015 when they didn't win the State Title, they did finish the Runner-Up!

  Whiteford Bobcats 2018

2018 - Whiteford, After a blistering 10-0 start, and pounding their first ten opponents without a close game, they dropped their playoff game 28-6 to Reading, in an absolute mud pit. The Bobcats looked to be dominating once again but this night in the mud, the insane footing, fumbles and turnovers after great drives proved to be the killer. Worst conditions I've seen maybe ever. The game looked to be in slow motion.  I feel like on a clean field this one would have been much different, for to me, it appeared that the Bobcats were the better team. Congratulations on another magnificent season and coaching job with the Bobcats, and keep up the great work. You are bringing a lot of pride and excitement to your community. 37-2 over 3 years is crazy numbers. I've enjoy watching you and your Bobcats'  from year to year and you are, for sure, a great carrier of the double wing torch! Thanks so much for keeping me in the loop!
