Mike Mauk has Falcons running the ball. Now, Glendale is running to district title game

Special to the News-Leader

The Glendale Falcons were lined up with a receiver in a wildcat formation and 10 players on the line of scrimmage just a few yards from the endzone.

Receiver Derek Horton was about to run it in for a touchdown.

In the past, it would have been a situation where Glendale threw the ball. Head coach Mike Mauk’s offense is predicated on throwing the ball all the time.

Why run it now?
