Season Recap With NC 3AA State Champions, Mount Tabor Spartans

Soon after the Mount Tabor Spartans closed out their 11-0 season with a NC 3AA State Championship win in the UNC Stadium - we decided to sit down with assistant Coach Rich Brendle, to recap the experience this highly successful program has had using GameStrat for sideline replay. Like many of our GameStrat teams, the Spartans had previously been using Hudl Sideline for their sideline replay. When asked about making the transition to GameStrat, Coach Brendle noted that the enthusiasm for the switch was sparked by his experience with our demo After seeing it, and understanding its advantages, it was really no question of whether or not we would switch

Sideline Replay: Why Speed Kills the Competition
Sideline Replay: Why Speed Kills the Competition

Football today is all about speed. Player speed, hand speed and speed of getting the play call in. Speed kills. The faster you can accomplish things the more time you have to improve in other areas. This is no different when it comes to sideline replay systems. Some of the other companies boast about fast transfer speeds, but how fast are they when it comes to live game situations?

East Leopards, UT - Case Study
East Leopards, UT - Case Study

After a difficult, uncertain offseason this past year, the East Leopards pulled off a very successful season! Coach Bowers and the Leopards finished the season on a 6 game winning streak before falling to the eventual Utah State Champions, Corner Canyon. East earned a #5 position on the 2020 High School Football America Utah Top 10 and we were very happy to have them using GameStrat throughout the season! Coach Bowers switched to GameStrat, but unlike most others who make the switch from Hudl Sideline, the Leopards switched from SkyCoach! It was more than just looking for a product that worked, but finding the best possible sideline replay system to give them an advantage on game day. “We had SkyCoach before and it was good but it just didn’t give us that other option to where we could do the things we wanted to do with it. Just the difference in ease of setup and overall quality was just so much better than what we had dealt with before.”

Union High School, OK - Case Study

This week we had the pleasure of chatting with two great coaches from the Union High School staff about their experience making the switch to GameStrat. Coach De Mashburn is the linebackers coach and main man in charge of GameStrat , while Coach Jonny Ulibarri is the WR Coach as well as being a Senior Staff member with R4 Systems. Both of them have had experience in the past with two other sideline replay companies before making the switch to GameStrat so they have a breadth of knowledge and experience when it comes to sideline replay! "It’s just so much farther ahead than any of those other programs that I’ve had experience with.”
