2 effective ways to evaluate your team
 
This is the home of Big Jim Hawbaker's Special Plays: "game WITHIN THE game" Analysis and Scoring System.  This is also the home of where the football terms "slam" and "jam" were invented by Harley Hawbaker, as part of his Defensive Scoring System.

Big Jim Wisdom:

"Before any team is gonna win a football game, they better make sure they don't lose it."
 
"A high school football team consists of 3 distinct teams that contribute about equally one-third to the final score of the game...over a season.  The offense, the defense, and special teams.  Each of these 3 teams are involved in certain special plays that also involve about one-third of the game time."
 
"I like to watch for these special plays...and give their results certain points...a type of scoring method for coaches and fans to evaluate their team in a new manner as the game is progressing."
 
"Bottom line.  If a team with inferior talent is able to fight and scrap to win the "game within the game"...win the game of turnovers, penalties, and special teams...they can be IN A POSITION to win a game at the end."
 
"The team who wins the Special Plays game will win the scoreboard total 80% of the time.  Whoever wins the Defensive Score that Harley has invented will cash in about 75% of the time."
