It seems to be a trend now with more teams in the WCAL adopting spread offenses. Serra started using it in the 2013 season and fared well tying Mitty for the title before losing to Del Oro in the Regional game. Mitty with their newly installed offense has been on a tear putting up over 30+ a game and just defeated top ranked Bellarmine ( without Martig) but still managed to put up 35 points. We all know by now how dangerous Riordan spread offense attack is as they put up 66 points on Serra and has to be averaging close to 40 points a game. Is Valley Christian next in line to add in a spread offense? They usually have the best athletes year in and out and it makes sense for them to get with the times or get left behind. I know coach Calcagno at SF is old school with running the ball and playing solid defense which they have been doing, but an 11-8 win over SI spells doom for them once one of these spread teams happens to put some points on the board. I will say I always loved the smash mouth running attack as it was very effective years ago, but it won't do any good when the Regional games come into play. You need to pass the ball to when at that level and I am happy to see the WCAL offenses finally adapting with the times. This will also allow more skill players to get college looks like from a WR spot. Collin Johnson is a exception, but you rarely see a WCAL guy sign at the WR spot. Monroe from Mitty last year did, but is now in college playing cornerback for SJSU.
