How many times did coal grove win this event under the Lucas coaching? I know the first stint in Wellston they won it once and was runner up once in three years .

Stronger is better, but speed still (and always will) kills.

Stronger players, but less athletic players.

Wellston will have every bit the athletic ability as anyone else. They do plenty of agility and speed training drills too not just powerlifting.

While Lucas’s (old) teams had success locally (SEO).... I wouldn’t really say those teams overwhelmed you with athleticism. Same could be said of a lot of teams that routinely made the playoffs and exited early.

There is always someone out there that is just as strong as you are that can go toe to toe with you, but can move as well.

Powerlifting is a great tool for building a program, but it definetly can’t be the only thing. Even in the weight room, you must add some dynamic elements or the power lifting can hurt flexibility, agility, and fast-twitch movements.
