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

A very rare occurrence happened in Alabama High school football this year. It's rare because it's rare to see 2 Double Wing or Gun Wing Teams in anyone's football circle much less undefeated three deep into the playoffs. The phrase "slobber knocker" comes to mind when describing this dog fight. 2 teams, undefeated, virtual mirror images of each other fighting till the bitter end. The Fyffe Red Devils prevail 21-13 as they out lasted the Ohatchee Indians. Both are Gun-Wing teams and were very mindful of the dilemma each faced trying to slow down the other. Both Defenses did a very good job of just that I'd say in a 21-13 game, where both participants were used to averaging over 40+ points per game. In a game like this, it usually boils down to mistakes and Ohatchee simply made a few more than Fyffe, dropping a sure TD pass in the first half and a turn over inside their own red zone to name a couple. But Fyffe made plays when they had to, and had to do it without their most dynamic player Peyton Anderson, who is one of the states best AA players. I congratulate both coaches Paul Benefield, and Scott Martin for superb game preparation hoisting their respective teams to the very top of Alabama's AA football Class. If you look at these 2 teams lined up next to their opponents, You will discover why coaching is paramount in certain High School Football programs around the country, and realize how rare great coaching really is! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

                            FYFFE

  ALABAMA 3 TIME STATE CHAMPIONS  **Fyffe Wins 3rd State Title in the last 5 years

                             (Coach Paul Benefield)

   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. Paul raised his lifetime tally to 286 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!

  2017 - Michigan STATE CHAMPIONS  (UNDEFEATED)                               Coach Mensing and Whiteford are State Champions in Michigan,14-0 averaging well over 50 points per game. Double wing football is rocking big time in this Michigan High School. Whiteford's tightest game was 36-20 and the rest were slaughters with 3 to 8 touchdown differentials. Mensing missed the title in the title game last year, so in 2 seasons, coach Mensing and the Double Wing Offense is 27-1. One State Title and One Runner up. Congratulation Coach ! The double wing world is very proud of your work!  Talk about Representing!
