EASTLAND — Every year since 2008, the Eastland Mavericks have been associated with throwing the football and finding people in space. And more often than not, at a quick tempo.
Current Springtown coach Brian Hulett started the trend in his first year at Eastland 16 years ago. The tradition continued after Hulett’s departure under Cliff Watkins (2014-15), James Morton (2016-22) and into last season with Bobby Schuman. This stretch included 14 playoff appearances and five district titles so there wasn’t a great deal of pressure to change things up.
