Most people in the football community have heard of running back by committee, but what we have here for you today is a Replay of the Week by committee! For the Week 8 edition we talked with Head Coach Bill Mosel, Offensive Line Coach Tony Rodriguez, and Assistant Jerry Ratliff of the Riverview Sharks in Florida. These guys have a lot of great perspectives from all angles of sideline replay; from the guy who sets it up and operates it, to a positional coach dealing one on one with players, to the head coach making the big picture decisions, we were able to get the full story of how GameStrat has impacted the Riverview Sharks football program.

For week 7 of the GameStrat Replay of the Week we sat down with a very special guest, Coach Kurt Hines, Head Coach of the Coronado High School Islanders in California. We also were lucky enough to be joined by Coach Mark Davis, Defensive Coordinator and the man in charge of GameStrat for the Islanders. If you are a coach on Twitter or Instagram you probably know Coach Hines. He has become a social media sensation through his inspirational, thought provoking, unscripted, and highly entertaining posts. With 40,000 Twitter followers and 22 years of high school coaching experience under his belt, it’s safe to say that Coach Hines is a guy that knows what he’s talking about.

For the Week 6 edition of the GameStrat Replay of the Week we had the privilege of chatting with Jacob Coulson, Head Coach of the Bloomingdale High School Bulls in Florida. Kelly Leath Photography The Bulls have had an excellent start to the year, going 5-1 and outscoring opponents 148-99 through the first 6 weeks of the season. They’re primed to make a playoff run and we’re hoping GameStrat will give them the extra push they need. "The setup is easy, the take down is easy, and he's been able to communicate with you guys whenever he needs to"

Welcome to Week 5 of the GameStrat Replay of the Week! For this feature we had the pleasure of chatting with Jeff Steinberg, Head Coach of the Beaumont High School Cougars in California. Coach Steinberg and the Cougars are out to a roaring start with a 5-0 record at the halfway point of the season. This season is Coach Steinberg’s second with GameStrat in his game day tool belt. He originally found GameStrat through a fellow coach (@CoachFore) who referred him to us, and after a quick demo he was ready to make the switch!

The Week 4 edition of the GameStrat Replay of the Week features Eric Stewart, Head Coach of the Rockwood Summit Falcons in Missouri. The Falcons have had a very successful start to the 2019 season, outscoring opponents 169-62 through 4 games. Coach Stewart first learned about GameStrat through Twitter. He was able to do some of his own research and hear a lot of positive things about us so he reached out! We got the Falcons setup well before their first game and they were able to practice with the system in order to be totally comfortable for week 1 under the lights!

For our 3rd GameStrat Replay of The Week we are featuring Joe Lebryk, Assistant Coach with the Lexington Christian Academy Eagles in Kentucky. Joe and LCA are coming off of a huge upset win, 43-42 over #11 ranked Lexington Catholic. The Eagles have been a part of the GameStrat team for two years now. We met them at a coaching clinic (look for us this offseason!) and gave them a demo of the system… and the rest is history. "... it's been better than we've ever had and better than we thought we could ever have."

Welcome to Week 2 of our weekly blog feature! This week we spoke with Scott Durham, Head Coach of the Andrews Yellow Jackets in South Carolina. They are coming off a dominating performance last week with a 53-0 win over the Hemingway Tigers. Coach Durham and the Yellow Jackets staff are new to GameStrat this year after switching over from Hudl Sideline. Their experience with Hudl Sideline was very similar to what we’ve heard with a lot of other teams and they were pleasantly surprised after using GameStrat the first time.

Welcome to the 2019 GameStrat replay of the week! Each week we will be featuring a member of the GameStrat team and replaying their Friday night experience with GameStrat. Joey Brent Photography To kick off the season we sat down with Coach Jason Russell, OC of the Lafayette Commodores in Mississippi. Jason and the rest of the Commodore’s joined the GameStrat team this past offseason after using Hudl Sideline for their inaugural sideline replay experience.

Technology is now dominating high school football. While watching film is nothing new, instant replay systems on the sidelines of Friday nights is becoming increasingly more common. Here are the top 7 things you should look for when comparing sideline replay systems:
