Batavia is a juggernaut. It’s ridiculous how consistently good they are year after year. Impressive and depressing at the same time.
They play their best athletes both ways and have managed to keep those kids healthy. Most coaches won’t take those risks.

So you’re saying risky coaching decisions are why they are consistently good every year?
I believe most of the top teams do it. Not sure why everyone else is so reluctant to do so outside of the injury risk or complaining parents...
Almost every team does it nowadays. Batavia is an anomaly where they have 70 players on their team and plenty of depth, whereas many teams increasingly just dont have enough talented players to avoid playing both sides of the ball. Batavia does play a few both ways, but only in key spots. As a coach, If I had Trey Urweiler , I would get him on the field as much as he would let me.
It's a huge difference between playing kids both ways because you have to and playing both ways because you are a stud. I agree with the Urweiler kid. Why would you ever take him off the field?
Only one player goes both ways consistently and that's Quin Urweiler. They have a few offensive packages that includes a couple of defensive players, it's not like they have ton a guys go both ways the entire game.. In my humble opinion their success is numbers and coaching, it's as simple as that.. Watch there defense, they are always fast and resilient.. Offensively, they haven't changed much in the 15 years or so since I started following them, they just grind it out and make big plays here and there..
In the past they have had several kids play both ways. Haven't seen them in person yet this year but I believe this has given them an advantage against teams that choose for whatever reason not to do that. They do have great coaching as well but coaching only gets you so far. You need to have the horses to execute the plan.
I think it is less common nowadays for most teams. It used to be pretty much standard fare back in the day when you would see half a team play both ways.
Yes, in the 80's/90's everyone had 2 positions and many would go both ways. Coaches went away from that. But in the last 5-7 years the trend has been to work in the best players on both sides . Especially in key moments of the game and now that the talent depth is not where it once was.
The more successful teams are doing it very effectively. No question about it.
