GOLDTHWAITE — In a way, the coach Keith Virdell is be taking Goldthwaite back to its roots in 2019, with the installation of a ground-based offense designed to chew clock. 

No, the Eagles will not be going back to the wishbone, which Gary Proffitt used to much success during his lengthy tenure some years back. 

Goldthwaite will, however, be basing out of the slot-T, an offense more commonly seen in east and south Texas than its better-known cousin, the wing-T. 

While the slot-T is different than the wishbone, relying heavily on misdirection rather than the triple option, the objective and requirements are the same: ball control, backed by discipline.
