On this episode of Your Call, presented by The Headset App, Coach Aaron Chantler of Auburn High School (WA) shares the evolution of his offensive strategy, spotlighting a bold transition to the spread offense and the creative use of empty formations. Faced with a thin running back room and undersized linemen, Chantler and his staff embraced adaptability, designing a mismatch-driven scheme that maximizes space and flexibility.
By leveraging motion and smart personnel usage, Auburn has continued to run power and counter concepts effectively—even without traditional setups—earning a reputation as one of the top offenses in their league.
