MAIS: PARK PLACE AT TALLULAH ACADEMY, 7 P.M. FRIDAY
2011 Records: Park Place (4-7); Tallulah Academy (2-9)
The Trojans: Tallulah coach Frank Lloyd makes his debut tonight, along with new schemes on offense and defense. The Trojans will employ a triple option rushing attack on offense, and a 3-4 defensive alignment built around a group of big linemen.
The Crusaders: Park Place won four games in its first season of 11-man football after two years in the 8-man ranks. The Crusaders are still building a program, but look to take the next step this season.
Quotable: “I don’t know the spread. I’m more comfortable teaching what I know. And it’s (triple option) difficult to defend if it’s run correctly.”
